Vijay: You may make a written complaint to the local SHO with a copy to the SP detailing all incidents of cruelty suffered by you.
If you need any help/guidance, you may send your write-up by e-mail
You may also be entitled to appropriate relief under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act.
Complain the matter u/s 498A of the Indian Penal Code against the husband and all others if any of them trouble you, to the SHO of the police station falling in your area of residence.
you may either file a complaint directly in the court of Magistrate or approach the protection officer of your area and file a complaint to her and she would file the same in court.
