as you have stated that you have no problems with divorce and you want the custody of the child, you may put this condition to him that in case he wants divorce, the custody should remain with you. either, for the love of child, he ll try n improve or he would divorce....whatever may be the outcome, the problem may be solved.

You should proceed against him and all other guilty persons under domestic violence Act by lodging appropriate complaint. You may also seek return of entire dowry amount and adequate compensation for all your sufferings.
