If u are serious to fight for ur safety and rights, you may consider filing complaint with the police under Section 498A (domestic violence) and 420 (cheating) of the IPC. Be sure u have credible evidence to prove ur allegations. The police will take immediate action including arrest of ur husband if hey ae convinced that there is sufficient evidence.
