I am married for last 16 years and have daughter of 10 years old.I am a house wife and have no job. Since last one year my husband is having affair with someone and he started abusing me all the time he is at home. Some times he becomes very violent and tries to strangle my throat. For last 3-4 months he has become more aggressive, verbally and physically both. He is even sometimes violent towards our daughter also. now he comes home only after 23:30 hrs and if you ask him anything he immediately reacts aggressively even in front of our daughter. He even calls my elderly parents and will always ask them to take me back to there home so that he call sell the flat and go away from the house without us. My parents are near 767 years old and it is a mental harassment for them also. 1. I want to know can he sell the flat without my consent, though the flat is on his name and he is paying the EMI. 2. Now the situation is such that in a day, at least 3-4 times he will threaten me to throw me out of the house and sell the house. I have lodged a GD (General diary) with local police just in Case. Do I need to file an FIR?? 3. If he comes with divorce paper will he be forced to pay me the compensation to take care of our child and myself, as I am house wife and never worked. 4. Can you suggest me any kind protection unit where I can at least inform, so just in case anything happen to me/ daughter. Regards
