My husband hid his drug addiction and previous divorce from me before our marriage. His family is now demanding money from my parents and took all my jewellery within a month. I filed a dowry complaint with proof of his drug use, but he responded with a divorce case and false accusations. The police haven’t resolved the matter yet. My parents spent a lot on our wedding, and his sister is also going through a divorce. I was treated like a servant, they never bought me anything, and even took the money my relatives gave me. He also physically abuses me, and my parents had to pay their electricity bills multiple times. I can’t live with him anymore, but my parents are unable to financially support me. Should I file a police report against them? What should I do? I’m so stressed and need help.

You have a strong case for filing a police report against your husband for domestic violence, dowry harassment, and criminal intimidation. Seek legal counsel immediately to file a case and explore options for financial support and protection under the Domestic Violence Act and other relevant laws.
