An FIR should have been registered then and there while they manhandled you and your mother or application must be moved before the trial court.

Wife can claim maintenance if the court finds reasonable grounds.

Also immediately consult a local Advocate, who will be able to guide you in the above said family and criminal matters.

A case should have been immediately registered by you with the police. Consult your lawyer who is handling your 498-A case

I do agree with all experts.

you better bring all such things into knowledge of the court where your case is running. i think the court will direct the police for your safety and may be possible ask police to register an FIR against them.

don't be afraid.
