First of all the police is bound to take your complaint on the grounds of mental cruelty. If they don't, you are entitled to file a criminal complaint before the magistrate having jurisdiction & also proceed against the police for refusing you assistance. 

Secondly file for divorce in family Court. 

You need further legal assistance. Kindly seek appointment with me by calling me

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you have neen tortured and harassed for no reason even after giving him another chance.
  2. It is not right that you can’t file a case agaisnt him, you please go and file a DV case agaisnt him including the 498A as they demand money from you irrespective of the fact as to whether they are asking for hard cash or by selling any property of yours.
  3. If police doesn’t take any action then file a complaint to the Magistrate under section 156 (3) read with 200 of Cr. P. C.
  4. And along with that file a divorce proceeding also asking for alimony for yourself as well as for your child apart form the monthly maintenance for you both.
  5. Approch any local NGO there who been working for women issues. You can get the list of the same over google very easily.

 

Good Luck and God Bless You...!

Dear Client,

This was a poor decision to remarry same lunatic. Better approach women cell. File applcaiton under protection of women from domestic violence act.

And first find some job and become independent.

 

We will get a match for u who will take care of ur financial needs etc" --- By this statement, yourself can understand, he is waste with no manhood.
Better divorce him finally for ever with permanent alimony and compensation.
Mental cruelty and harassment with a view to coercer you to meet unlawful demand like sell the property covers u/s 498a IPC, Criminal offense .
Either complain to women cell or court complain.

Dont lose hope.  You have to stay strong for your child.  First and foremost, no matter what they do, do not sell your parental property.  That is your only security and once you sell it, they will take the money and then kick you out of the house. Secondly, find up a job and start working once again.  Once you have financial independence, you will not feel so helpless and dejected.  The Police may refuse to lodge an FIR but you can lodge NCs.  Alternatively, you can also approach the Court under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 for reliefs.

4. Therafter file a divorce suit and leave him for good in your own interest.

Yes of course if there is no physical assault then police cannot help you but you can go to the court and file a divorce petition on the ground of cruelty and non compatibility.

You came back in the deadlock again for the sake of children now you have to try to live separately pant try to get divorce as soon as possible of course it is going to take some time but in the meantime try to settle yourself because code will take its own time for taking the decision.

Alimony or monetary compensation are part of justice, until the accused person will not suffer, no hope of improvement. And those monetary receivable shall be used for your child growth and education - Who ask you to use it,

It is father responsibility to contribute for child growth, you cant leave him without a lesson, otherwise he will victimize some other after you.

1. You shall have to approach the Court seeking justice.

 

2. Moreover, maintenance is your right as our Apex Court has opined that the husband shall have to maintain his family even by borrowing or begging.

The demand for money by him and his father and also the relative, are all the reasons for filing a complaint under section 498a IPC  and 3 and 4 of DP act.

If the local police is not entertaining the complaint then you may approach the top police officer within the jurisdiction for intervention and direction the local police to register the FIR for the alleged offences.

If that is also not effective then you may approach judicial magistrate court with a petition under section 156(3) cr.p.c. seeking its direction to the concerned police for initiating proper legal action on your complaint pending before them.
