This is more a personal marital discord than a legal dispute.

Since the marriage does not seem to be working , ask your daughter about her plan in contnuing this marriage.

If she is serious to work this marriage out then you have to negotiate with them and convince to patch up among themselves.

If she has decided otherwise the she can file case u/s 498A ipc and case under PWDV Act.

you should take protection order from the court by filing a case under domestic violence act. protection of life your daughter is the priority at this time. domestic violence act provides many relieves like protection from cruelty, separate residence in one portion of the same house, financial relief etc.

you should contact a protection officer of the district and file a case through him,

in this type of case ultimately the lady is to decide about her future. there are many relief in law but which will be fit for her and her future prospect shall be decided by that lady alone. DV Act will protect her at the primery stage of the crisis.

1. It appears that the marriage of your daughter with her husband did not gel well,

2. Your daughter shall have to decide as to what does she want to do with this type of relationship with her husband,

3. since your daughter is highly educated and well employed, she is not constrained to lead this type of tortured life,

4. No law can force the husband or wife to change if they does not want to,

5. So, if your daughter wants to terminate the matrimonial relationship, she should keep collecting evidence of the torture of her husband and finally file a divorce suit on the ground of cruelty claiming adequate compensation from her husband for ruining her life.

You can bring your daughter to your home, take care of medical issues and the delivery of baby.

Your daughter should not suffer at this stage, she can be with you atleast till the delivery is over, if not you people plan to shift to Delhi and take care of her from the nearby place.

If the tortures are beyond tolerance then she may be advised to lodge a police complaint agaisnt him

But after that the relationship between them will sour after that and she may have to forego all her privileges and may even lose her existing relationship.

It is your daughter who has to act. She can file for dissolution of her marriage on the ground of cruelty apart from claiming maintenance under 125 CrPC, whereas if she wants to continue her marriage then she may file a DV case against her husband and in-laws to restrain them from subjecting her to further acts of domestic violence.
