Legal Question in Family Law in India

I have been married for the last 1and half years. I have faced both mental and physical harrassment from my m-i-l and my husband. I 've a girl child of 10 months. I wanted only a separation from him no divorce. I wanted to get monthly compensation from him. I am not employed. Supposing he denies to give that what can be done? he doesn't have any motive of living separately. I do not want to go thro domestic violence Act. What is the other alternative to get separation as well as compensation from him without any hitch.
By the way of compensation how much does the court grant? Or can I demand for an amount , as my husband is earning Rs.40,000/- per month. having own house and car etc. How about the custody of the child. As I am having a girl child of 11 months old. Pls. note I am not employed.

domestic violence act does not talk about violence only but it also gives you other remedies as you desire viz. maintenance, separation etc....however, you may alternatively go for petition u/s 18 for seeking maintenance and file a complaint u/s 125 for maintenance and file a petition for judicial separation.
