Consult a local lawyer and go for the proceedings as you are entitled to claim maintenance.

Re: Harrasment by husband and in-laws

(a) You are entitled to residence and maintenance amount payable by your husband;

(b) since the house is in the name of his mother, possibly she may be entitled to sell; but you may seek an injunction against sale by filing an application under Domestic Violence Act.

I may be able to render more informed opinion only if you provide me full facts of your marriage - from ist day onwards; i.e. how the marriage was performed, where you entered after marriage and how have you been living, etc. etc.

No charges.
