Female NRI filing divorce--PLEASE HELP

Hello All!
I am a Canadian Citizen(NRI) and I got married in April 2010 in New Delhi to my husband of Indian origin. After marriage he told me that he only married me for sponsorship purposes to come to Canada. His mother, father and brother live in Canada on a point base system and I was told my husband couldn't come on a point base system because he didn't have enough points. Also, after marriage I signed the sponsorship papers and then thereafter he began to beat me alot. Everyday he was never home. He lied to me saying he was gone to work but came home late at night around 3am to 8am he would come back home VERY drunk and beat me alot. He threw a knife at me and threatened me many times. I told his parents everything because I wanted them to help me but his family supported him and were on his side. He mis-used me in many ways physically. As a NRI from Canada I had no family in Delhi and then I told my mom. A month after my mom came to took me back to Canada without my husband knowing. I am filing for a divorce in Canada and will be sending the papers to him in Delhi. My mother-in-law sold my wedding clothes and has my wedding jewelery in her Bank locker in Delhi. Can someone PLEASE help me in telling me how I can file a case against my husband and his family to get my jewelery back and get back the money I spent on the wedding, the money spent on the wedding clothes that were sold, and how I can sue him for the physical misuse and abuse he did to me????? He tortured me alot in Delhi and I was never to allowed to go outside of the house and never gave me money to spend. He even tried to poison me..please can someone help me as I want to file a case against the family and get back the money I deserve as pain and memories continue to haunt me. I really appreciate your time and hope to hear back SOON!!!!
Please email me directly at: poonam_25@hotmail.com.

Thank you and HOPE to hear back with my legal advice and legal support.

hello poonam,

if u like to initiate any legal action against ur hubby and in-laws in india, u can approach the Delhi police u/s. 498 A of I.P.C. for harassment & demand of dowry. U/s. 406 of I.P.C. u can claim ur Streedhan. But if u want to initiate any action aginst the harassers then u have to proceed under the Canadian Law.
