if they will not appear then court will issue non bailable warrant and only then they can be arrested.
Court can order to provide you place in your inlaws house with protection or order the husband to bear rented accomodation for you.
the order of residence can be granted in your favour in case your husband is staying in a shared household and in case he is staying in a rented accommodation, you also have a right to stay with him. he cannot refuse u the right to residence and in case he does that, he may be imprisoned.
since your earnings are almost equal to your husband, you may not get any maintenance; however they may suffer criminal prosecution.
