In-laws harassing for dowry, husband mistreating
Hello sir. I got married 9 months back, arranged marriage, both me and my husband are doctors.before our engagement my mother in law said that they dont want any kind of dowry but 4 days before our wedding she told the whole list of things which should be given to them. My parents were not able to give around half of the things during marriage because of lack of money. Since my marriage , my in laws has been torturing me mentally about things not given to them. Initially my husband used to support me and said that we will buy things from my salary which I was giving slowly.. I gave around 2 laks from my salary as cash and bought household things worth 1 lakh .they were not satisfied and used to torture me for small small things.Even my husband doesnt like their nature and speaks very rarely to them but he wanted me to be ideal bahu and tolerate all their curses and taunts. Initial 8 months I tried but last month they became really abusive and I fought against them. They got really angry as how a bahu can open her mouth. I made my mind of not staying with them but husband didnt agree thinking what society will speak. Somehow he agreed to have separate kitchen from them, but asked me to do all the house works and leave my job. also I should never meet my parents.Husband is very moody and suspects me for small small things says that I am intersted in another man. He abuses me with really bad words on and off depending on his mood.always checks my mobile. For 5 days he locked the main gate and didnt allowed me to go out neither meet my brother or parents and made me to do all house work even when I had high fever.somehow I managed to come back to my parents house and informed my husband that I have come here but still he abused me with whom I slept.I thought he will regret for how he treated me but instead he is still abusive that says that I have left him.it has been one month since I left but still no calls from him only abusive words. I dont want to go back.and want to put case against them for dowry and mental harrasment and want separation. They treat woman as an object with no freedom and I want to teach them a lesson .How strong is my case?

Ok sir. But my lawyer is asking me to add falsely in my complaint that my inlaws demanded 25 lakhs during wedding and that I was beaten by my inlaws after marriage, which I am not in favour of. Also he is saying that the case will run in the city where my husband and inlaws stay not where I give the complaint that is my parent's place.If its true it will be a torture for me to go to his place again and again for hearings. What to do?
