Alimony and streedhan not returned


12-Dec-2025 (In Divorce Law)
I have lodged a complaint against my husband for maintenance, domestic violence and 498 on 2023 September. But as per last interim order I could get 20,000 but my husband started giving 10,000 as he claimed that I'm doing a job. But I'm not doing any job presently. Also, I haven't received my ornaments and all my belongings from them . Also, they have kept all the documents as court has requested for documents for ornaments recovery and I don't have these documents. So how can I get my ornament

Yes. You can get your ornaments as per law. Proper applications have to be made before the Learned Court to get the documents and other things back. Streedhan is your property not your husband's or anyone else's.

The husband is bound to give the entire amount of maintenance as has been ordered by the court. If you're not getting that, complain to the concerned court. In such family cases, there are some greedy lawyers who take advantage and misappropriate the real amount of maintenance from their clients. If so, hire a senior and experienced advocate for your issue. In domestic violence case, you're also entitled to right to accommodation in your matrimonial house or get the amount of cost for rental accommodation along with some other monetary compensation. Whatever, everything depends on the advocate you engage. So, be wise to select the advocate. Always check seniority, experience, and loyalty of the advocate you engage.
