You can file a petition under Section 144 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita or Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act for monthly maintenance. If your husband is not talking or giving money, the court can order him to pay a fixed monthly amount for your living expenses. You have full legal rights.
