1. I think you weer not advised properly.

2. If the Police is not registering FIR then you can move to magistrate's court by a petition u/s 156(3) crpc for direction upon Police to register FIR and cause necessary investigation.

3.If your husband has left any property you can claim your share including right to reside in his house for which you have ti file case Under PWDV Act.

If a person has a grievance that his or her FIR has not been registered by Police, his or her first remedy is to approach the SSP u/s 154(3) Crpc or other police officer referred to in section 36 Crpc. If despite approaching the SSP or the officer, her grievances still persist, then he can approach a Magistrate u/s 156(3) Crpc. More over he has a further remedy of filing a criminal complaint u/s 200 Crpc and still remedy a Writ petition or a petition u/s 482 Crpc before High Court. You can file a case before Magistrate for return if Stri Dhan even a Civil Suit for a share in husbands property.
