At the same time you can file a petition in the family court for the maintenance as you are pregnant you need medical care as well and could be there how was it sufficient amount for your medical and maintenance.

The police can send him notice under section 40 and 41 of CrPC to appear before him and in case is not appearing you can be arrested.

1. The conduct of your husband is really inexplicable and there must be an extra marital angle behind this weird angle.

2. His conversion of Muslim religion points t this aspect further.

3. Since he is not taking care of you, a case of maintenance and damages can be filed under PWDV Act.

4. If this marriage does not work like in terms of staying with you anymore under one roof you may consider filing a case under section 498A IPC.

He can't divorce you unilaterally and without assigning any genuine reason.

Reach out to the women helpline cell and seek help from them. In case he's doesn't returns back to you despite taking police help, file a case for restitution of conjugal rights against your husband.

Dear maam you must understand that you cannot force your husband to live with you and as such if he is not willing to live with you there is no court that can pass in order to direct him to live with you.

Further if just changed the religion for the purpose of marriage then such marriages also considered to be void. It will be better that if you can talk to him and resolve the dispute mutually.

However, if you want to gibe it a chance then you may file a suit for restitution of conjugal rights wherein the court may pass a direction to the husband to live with you.

You will have to approach Court and file a suit to bring back your husband and if court finds that the spouse who is living separately without any reasonable justification, it shall pass order and compel him (her) to live together. Such a suit by the aggrieved party is called a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights.

1. If he has converted to Islam then he can divorce you under the Shariah by pronouncing triple talaq. Muslim Women (Protection of rights on divorce) Act bans only the instant triple talaq, not other forms of talaq. If and when he does it you can challenge it in the court.

2. You may also file a DV case under Section 12 of DV Act to seek right to residence in the shared household of your husband and also maintenance for yourself.
