Q: My mother-in-law is refusing to return my jewellery that she took from me.

I have been married for a year now, and my mother-in-law has taken all my jewellery and refuses to return it. Despite my repeated requests, she does not respond to me. What legal actions can I take if my mother-in-law has taken my jewellery?

Advocate Anuj Sehrawat answered
If your mother-in-law has confiscated your jewelry as alleged by you and it has been a year now, you can write a complaint to your nearest women's cell seeking their help to recover your ornaments. They will in turn forward the same application/complaint to your local police station hence you can claim back your "Stridhan" via this mode. The second option is you can approach a lawyer and he would further initiate matrimonial proceedings as per law. Thank you.

HelloI have read your query, and have observed that your property can be transferred to your name by way of a registered Will only. That to transfer any immovable property your ought to have the owner/transferer present in the concerned office. As your father is not in the position to travel I can suggest that you only have Will as a way to transfer this property.

Since you doubt the times ahead you can enter an MOU with the landlord regarding your concern. You can mention about the current situation in that MOU and it can be a safeguard for you in times ahead.
