  If your husband regularly tortures you, drinks, abuses you, and sometimes beats you, you can file a police complaint, a domestic violence case, and seek maintenance. You may also take action under Section 85, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS). Keep medical records, injury photos, and chats as evidence.
