Marriage and money related question?

I am a housewife in India and I don't work. Even if I wanted to work no one would ever let me to - my in-laws, my husband. Not because they are bad. They just think there is no need and I have to look after our daughter. However my husband and I fight every time when I need money for something. For example, recently I bought some books for a high amount of money because I am studying something and I want to become something. But my husband started shouting at me that I am very bad and think only of myself. He says that I spend all his money. However, it seems to me that I live like a nun in a nunnery with basic clothes and one lipstick, not spending money even for the transport because I never go out. So when I bought so many books on amazon I felt no quilt at all. I think I deserve them. I rarely buy clothes or other things. But the big fight happened and I am really confused. I said to him I don't understand what he means and we should start living separately so that I could work and there would be no arguments about the money. Then he started saying something to change the subject. Don't even know how to explain well but in this situation, where husband works and wife doesn't, how much money is she entitled to (a fair percentage)? For something that is not related to "the house" like cups and bedsheets, for her own clothes, books etc? Or is it a case for divorce?
