What is legal definition of Stridhan


07-Jul-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My friend got married recently according to hindu rituals in presence of relatives and friends. It was an arranged marriage but the girl started making excuses for not staying with her in laws since the very first day. Then after 5 days her parents and relatives came to boy's house and took the girl along with them. Later, they refused to send the girl saying that the girl doesn't like the boy and they want to cancel the marriage. Now the girl's parents are threatening boy's family for false dowry case. The marriage has not been consummated so what is the best solution in this situation. And also what is Stridhan and who has the right on gifts and other articles given to girl at the time of marriage by boy's family, after the divorce? I am sorry for such a long question but this information would be very helpful, Thanks a lot

Hi,
Need not worry.
We can file a case under section 9 of HMA to call the girl back to the boy's house.
If she doesn't come back then it's a grounds for divorce itself.
Stridhan is the articles which girl has bought at the time of marraige.
Feel free to have a word with me for more information.
All the best
