She can approach the local police or mahila police within her residential jurisdiction and lodge a criminal complaint seeking protection.
If he is not providing any amount towards her maintenance, she can file a maintenance case under section 125 cr.p.c. seeking maintenance for her and the child.
She can also file a DV case seeking protection, residence, monthly maintenance, compensation and return of her articles.
But remember that any such legal steps would createan adverse impact on her matrimonial life.
