In Indian style of marriages, the bride is given Gold Jewellary in marriages. When such bride receives anything in her marriage from ny person becomes her "StriDhan". As per Indian Laws, StriDhan is an exclusive property of that woman. Hence, coming to your question, if above condition satisfies, then it becomes "StriDhan" and has to be given to her irrespective of person who has given to woman. I hope you find above answer satisfactory
