Yes you may file Sec.9.It may help you in case they file 498a against you , it is also helpful for child custody
You should avoid any kind of litigation.
(a) Try reaching your wife and her parents directly as also through relatives / friends.
(b) start sending her adequate financial support for herself and the child;
(c) start displaying visible signs of your love and affection towards your wife and the child without keeping anything adverse in mind about the past.
You should consider an amicable settlement and avoid litigation.
