Answer #1

Retaining stridhan without the consent of the Woman would come within purview of criminal breach of Trust which is an offence under section 406 IPC and Father in law or any person of doing so could be booked for the same accordingly and likewise if woman is harrased by prosecuting her on baseless Ground for getting divorce, is a Firm ground for Cruelty and a person accused of the same, could be booked under section 498A IPC.
