you can file a petition for divorce on the grounds of cruelty and also file a complaint under domestic violence act and seek the reliefs mentioned there under such as maintenance, compensation, residence orders etc.

The first step is to file a case for divorce in the court havinbg jurisdiction over the place where you reside or where you were married. The divorce can be on the grounds of cruely, both mental and physical.
The second step should be to file a case against your husband under the Domestic Violence Act - the releifs prayed for could be maintenance and right of residence in the matrimonial house.
