Based on Indian law, you have grounds for seeking maintenance from your husband under Section 125 of the CrPC. Since you are living with your in-laws and your husband is not providing you financial support, you can file a maintenance application in a family court.

My wedding in Jaipur in May 2014 was a joyous occasion, but soon after, difficulties arose with my in-laws. My husband initially stood by me, but later sided with his family. They constantly complained to my parents about my behavior. In December 2014, they asked my father to take me back for a few months, citing their small house and the impending birth of my sister-in-law’s child. When my husband left for work in Assam in February 2015, he told my father he had cut ties with his family and would bring me to Assam soon. He stayed in contact through regular phone calls. However, in May 2015, we received a letter accusing me of being foolish, mentally unfit, and lacking understanding. They threatened to end the marriage. My father tried desperately to reconcile things. In September 2015, another letter arrived, this time accusing me of being incapable of basic tasks like bathing and dressing myself. Given these circumstances, can I file a defamation case for the insults, a cheating case against my husband for breaking his promises, and a divorce? What evidence would I need to support these legal actions?
