You have right to maintenance and can also file a complaint under domestic violence act. In case cruelty was inflicted for dowry then offence u/s 498a and 406 can be made out. If you cannot afford a lawyer u may contact. LSA at district court.
Madam the first thing is to file a maintenance Petition which can be done by filing criminal case under 125, and you can also claim other reliefs such as residence, or not to harass you or not to sell the property or attach his salary etc which are provided under domestic violence act. Further you can file a Divorce Petition and also claim maintenance or permanent alimony in the same Petition. for more details contact me.
