I am married and having serious conflicts with my husband. He mistreats me, and I want to file for divorce. My parents are forcing me not to file for divorce and are keeping me under house arrest. They are also hitting me, forcing me to return to my husband’s home, and asking me to quit my IT job. This is affecting my career and freedom. What should I do legally?
