Dear Querist
the wife may file a complaint u/s 12 of Protection of women from domestic violence act-2005 along with section 18, 19 and 20 of the act and claim protection, right to residence and monetary relief from her husband.
If the house is in husband's name then she's entitled to 50% share in the property. She can claim protection under domestic violence act for Right to share household. She can always file for injunction as well. In that case the court would direct the husband not to throw the wife from her matrimonial home.
