Don't worry mam.you can take back all your things by preferring a police complaint. You can do from your place of residence by getting the protection of local police. Your husband has no inch of right over stridhana properties.

Better to resolve the issues amicably, if not, you need to wait for an year to file divorce.





































































































Filing a police complaint against your husband and in-laws will lead to separation.

HELLO,

YOU ARE AT LIBERTY TO TAKE BACK ALL YOUR SRIDHANA PROPERTY. IF YOUR HUSBAND AND IN-LAWS PREVENT YOU FROM
TAKING ALL THE ABOVE SAID PROPERTY FROM YOUR MATRIMONIAL HOME ( YOUR HUSBAND'S PLACE) YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY PREFER A COMPLAINT WITH THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONAL POLICE STATION. THEN THERE IS NO RELIEF, YOU CAN FILE CASES UNDER 1. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, 2.DOWRY HARASSMENT & 3.RETURN OF PROPERTY - UNDER HINDU MARRIAGE ACT, 1955.

You can live alone. You can take all your things from his house. He cannot give a complaint that you stole his things. The Police will not take any action against you. Dont worry. He cannot force you to live like a slave under house arrest. If you are in Chennai and need any further assistance then you can contact me.
