as you were physically and mentally harassed by your husband, you may file a complaint under domestic violence act and your husband will have to defend the case here in india and in case he does not appear, he may be in trouble and his permanent residency can be jeopardised. once you file the complaint under DV act, you may claim compensation for the damage done. you may also seek maintenance from him but before that, you need to gather courage and start working for your survival and incur legal expenses.
