You have to decide whether you want to live together or to divorce. Only based on your decision any advice can be given.
Please note that decision of this type is purely personal.
If you will go for mutual divorce then everything depends upon mutual divorce clauses settled by both of you and in the mutual divorce agreement, you may mention anything you want and if you dont want divorce then under DVA act, court can provide you shelter with your husband and also security so that your husband will never manhandle you.
Good luck and Regards
you have all the rights to seek residence order of a shared household and in case your husband denies you the right, he is duty bound to maintain you by renting out a house. in case you go for divorce by mutual consent, you may negotiate the amount of alimony.
i dont think that you have any real fight with your husband.. you are earning and can stand on your own legs....
see you want to live with him but do u think that by such means of harassment to him and his family, you will be able to win his heart? i dont believe that criminal matters can make any home so i will advice that make your home and dont break it. try your level best to make it and if it dosnt work out then break the relationship by peaceful means... in fact marriage is not a crime for men.
as far as your rights are concerned you have right of alimony and house but there are lot of conditions to that so i will advice to consult your lawyer on this
There is no point in living with an unloving husband and in an hostile atmosphere. You may consider a reasonable out of court settlement and try to bring an end to litigation.
