Hi... If domestic abuse is involved, you must reach out to women helpline. Law is very strict and to an extent even biased towards women. He cannot be abusive with you. When faced with such situations, we don't have any other choice but to face our fears. Men are legally obligated to provide for their wife and children. It is not something that they have a choice on, even after a divorce. It may sound very weird but this is where the law stands as per Hindu Marriage Act. Based on religion there are some differences but broadly the law of the land applies to everyone. When you will take a stand you will see that the demons you thought could kill you were actually only inside you. They were your fears. Unless he is a mafia, history sheeter, criminal, etc. Even in that case there are means to control them, but you have to learn to fight for yourself. No one will fight for someone who is not willing to fight for themselves.
Next Steps
Keep records of his abuse. You can use a phone camera or recorder. There are lots of spy cameras available for online shopping.
Reach out to women helplines or call police and lodge an FIR.
Reach out to your family members (father, brother, etc.) for help.
In extreme situation, switch on FB or Insta Live and share it on social media.
Like I said there are various ways to address the same situation but no way for someone who is not willing to fight for themselves.
