Legal Question in Family Law in India

Sir

I belong to muslim community. Here it goes. I married to a divorcee man for the past 4 years (his first wife was his own relative, aunt's daughter). My in-laws gave me so much trouble from the beginning in all sorts, like she expects me to do all household work and also the office work, they did not support me financially, they expected me to earn for my needs. During my first pregnancy, they did not provide me proper food and my mil abused me a lot verbally so I left and had my child delivered in my parents house. After that, husband and myself came separately, we were happy for a month and again the problem started when my mil came to our house. My mil asked my husband to beat me and bring myself to her feet so I could be a good dil. From that day onwards, my husband started to scold me, beat me for simple reasons even when I was pregnant during my second child. This behavior of him still continues. He one time slapped me to the point that he broke my eardrum. I was in severe pain. He used to leave me for a month or two to his mother house by fighting with me and go and come back again, this behavior still continues. During these times, he does not provide me any financial support. Whenever fighting, he mentions I should be self sufficient with my earnings for my children and myself as we told in the beginning of our marriage that I earn good. He gives only 1/4th of the salary he earns and not even a penny more than that. He does not support me, children financially. I spent for 2 of pregnancies myself and my parents and the medical expenses also. He suddenly leave us and go anytime by fighting with me ( I do not know whether the parents influences him). I feel insecure financially and other terms with this marriage. In top of that, he gets so much anger to the point he beats me severely. Now he threatens to kill me also. He wants the property of the house which we are in lease in his name, which is all my jewel money , all the time he brings this issue and leaves the house. Some of the jewels are with my mil and whenever I ask that, he fights with me and leaves the house. Recently, he did not give any money for 15 days he stayed with me, as soon as he got the salary, he left the house by fighting with me. There was also jewel loan in bank which is due to pay next month which he did not bother about at all, which I am paying. He took partial amount from the loan for his job purposes. He also spent about 40000 rs of the lease amount, when we moved to another house last time, he spent nothing for myself or children from this. This lease amount is entirely money of my jewels which is sold for rent purpose. He claims now that he has all rights to spent those money.

Now the problem is I have some jewels left in my mil house. when I asked about this to bring back, he left the house saying that it would only be there. When my parents and I went to ask for those last week, my in-laws and husband insulted us saying that they wont give the jewels unless we give the custody of the children. I am in debt now and I need the jewels. I do not want to even show the children for them as they did not even care about them in anyway and also due to the abusive nature of my in-laws and my spouse.

Please give me the proper solution how to handle to get back my jewels and come out of this bad situation.

Thanks in advance
