Hi there,
I am a practicing attorney based in South Africa and I will assist you with your question. Please feel free to ask as many follow up questions in order to clarify your question. If you have a new question, you must please open a new thread.
You need to apply, at your local Magistrate's Court, for a protection order against your abusive husband. That will give you the protection that you need.
