You are entitled to lodge a complaint with the local police under Sections 406 and 498-A of I.P.C.
Besides, you may also institute proceedings under Prevention of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005.
You may claim back your ornaments, expenses incurred on marriage and criminal action for the cruelty committed against you.
