From your fact, it is apparent that you were forced to marry a man while you were a minor. The of our country prohibits the Child Marriage under the Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929, therefore your parents and your husband has committed a punishable offence. I would like to advice you to contact your local police station for further assistance. There are different NGOs in Bangladesh solely working for the welfare of the women, you can also contact these NGOs.
As a woman, you have the right to divorce your husband and you can do so by taking assistance from a lawyer.
