1. It appears that your husband is also in complicity with your MIL.If that is so then it is very unfortunate.

2.You must not meet their demand as there is no money which can fulfil greed of a person.

3.Talk to your husband firmly and ask for a solution.

4.if he si ready for making a solution and become ready to stay separate then give this marriage a try.

5. If not then you must take recourse to law and file a case of dowry harassment case u/s498A,406,323 IPC against them and then file maintenance case under PWDV Act.

6. Such cases would likely to wreck your marriage for ure. So take decisison accordingly.

You may involve common friend or relatives to break the ice in the meantime.

This is the fit case for criminal complaint and legal actions against your mother in law and also your husband if he is acting on their side.

You can lodge a criminal complaint under section 498a, 3 and 4 of DP Act, criminal intimidation, section 506 and also under section 406 besides other offences

You can file a DV case against them for protection, residential rights, maintenance and other compensations.

If they dont take care of you then you may file a maintenance case under section 125 cr.p.c.

Madam, Even after giving complaint, still you have right to stay in the home. Seems you are facing many issues and you already been to police station to complain on them. You can walk in to my office, so that we can discuss about the issues you are facing and will see the legal remedy.

You are having lot of options before you to make those people run behind you.

If you dont understand the local language, you may engage an advocate in the local and get all the cases filed through him/her against your husband and the insulting mother in law.

Without initiating any legal action against them you will not get any relief.

They have determined to ruin your life or even see you finished, so you have to rise up to the situation.

There are lot of legal steps that can be taken for maintaining yourself and yor child properly and the court will make to him to run to you to take care of you both provided you fight your case properly with the help of a skilled and experienced advocate in the local.
