Answer #2

In view of Hindu Law, the Supreme Court has unequivocally asserted a woman's inalienable right to claim her 'Stridhan,' irrespective of her marital status. The Supreme Court declared that as long as the status of the 'aggrieved person' persists, a woman is entitled to assert her rights over her Stridhan, even if the property remains in the custody of her husband or any family member. This ruling clarifies that separation from her husband does not diminish her entitlement to claim Stridhan, thereby reinforcing the legal sanctity of this aspect of matrimonial rights.

Answer #4

If the behaviour of your husband is intolerable towards you can anytime send a complaint regarding your grievances in writing to the police station according to your jurisdiction. And if you wish to go legal then you can also file a petition under section 12 DV or section 125 CrPC and claim maintenance for yourself. And if there's no scope of living together then rather stretching the relationship you should file for contested divorce under the ground of cruelty. I would suggest you to go with mutual divorce because it's cost effective and ends up in a maximum of six months. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

Taking away of all your jewellery by your in laws is a criminal offence and therefore, you can visit your nearest police station and file a case under Section 406 IPC i.e. for Criminal Breach of Trust. The punishment for the same offence is of 3 years. If they emotionally abusing and harassing you, you can file another case of Sec 498A against your husband and in-laws. Don't be scared.
