Legal Question in Family Law in India

helped husband get bail

i am married since last 6 months but i am being mentally n physically harrased by my husband n his family since marriage.

They abused me in public that i am charecterless. The torture was such that i had a misscarriage of 12 weeks pregnancy.with all these humiliations i attempted suicide but i was saved n when my treatment was going on my husband threw me out of the house so with no other option i took the help of police n under section 498A my husband who is an IT professional was arrested. The next day he pleaded n i being generous to him helped him get bail by giving an affidavit that i have no objection for his bail . After he came out he started the same things again n now he is trying to create legal complications for me . they had taken huge dowry n we have all evidences.

i want to know that have i made a mistake by giving affidavit? what should i do next to make myself secure from legal complications from him?Can he take divorce without my consent with this affidavit?

No he cannot take divorce without your consent. You can complaint again under 498A or Domestic violence Act. This time don't get emotional.
