Stridhan refers to all valuables voluntarily given to a woman before, during, or after marriage like jewelry, money, gifts, or property from her family, husband, or in-laws. It's legally her exclusive property and is different from dowry, which involves coercion. In divorce cases, a woman retains full rights over her Stridhan, including the mangalsutra. Even if the jewelry came from the husband?s side, it still belongs to her and cannot be taken by him or his family.

All the jewellery and other articles gifted from either side to the bride is considered to be the stridhan of that particular bride and she is at the liability to dispose it according to her will. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

As per Indian Law the gifts, jewellary etc given to the bride at the time of marriage and thereafter by her parents , in-laws or relatives becomes the Stridhan of the wife and she will be an absolute owner of the same. You may consult for detailed consultation.
