Your question is very confusing. You're saying you don't have money to defend and also you've given 7 lakh to your husband. What kind of case has been filed against you and by whom? Australia is a very expensive country, your husband is studying or working there? Didn't you knew before marriage about your husband's joint family status? Stop complaining about everything and be clear and honest with what kind help you want.
