The remedy is to meet the allegations leveled against the husband in a proper manner. Ofcourse if the husband has been thrown out of the house and he has no where to go ,obviously he would take some place on rent to live in it. Yes these are going to be legitimate expenses to be shown to the court when the court is going to decide the application u/s 23 of Domestic violence act.
