You may file petition under Section 27 of Hindu Marriage Act. You have to contest any false list that may be filed by your wife. Yes, LED TV, AC given to your wife by anybody comes under istridhan. No. Monetary expenses made by your wife's family during functions do not come under istridhan. During mediation we do not speak about legal liabilities. It is something like buying peace. Yest jewellery given by you or your family to your wife comes under stridhan.

Istridhan is the list of articles that has been gifted to a married woman after and at the time of solemnization of marriage,Basically anything that has been gifted to the woman from her parental home and whatever you and your family have gifted her at time of marriage comes within ambit of Istridhan. Therefore what can be claimed depends is a matter of record,and can be looked into as per facts and circumstances each case.
