09-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Can divorced woman claim her dowry including Jewellery e.t.c from her husband after divorce in Muslim law ? Then in which sections she can claim her dowry ? Another is, can divorced woman entitled for maintenance from her husband after divorce as per section 125 CrPC ? Pls tell me above two questions as soon as possible. Thanks
As per muslim law, the husband is supposed to give mehr to his wife for her maintenance after he gives her a divorce as per the nikaah nama signed by you at the time of nikaah. You can file a maintenance application under Section 125 of the CrPC to claim maintenance from your husband.
Hi the concept of Stridhan is a Hindu Law concept under which the women get their all valuables jewellery properties etc recovered from husband but there is similar provision and protection to all women under domestic violence act and a woman whether Hindu or Muslim can recover belongings from her husband even after divorce and similarly under section 125 CRPC or divorced woman can claim maintenance The Shah Bano case is a famous example for it
yes she can claim maintenance under section 125 crpc after divorce provided not married for second time and she can also claim her jewellery as her stridhan irrespective of religion and after satisfaction the court may grant
