I am seeking clarification on whether a woman is entitled to jewellery and other valuables given to her at the time of marriage by the groom and his family, or does she have to return them in case of a divorce?

The bride's stridhan includes any presents given to her by her husband or parents, or by relatives of her husband or parents, at the moment of marriage. The husband has no influence over the stridhan property. He may utilize it during his sorrow, but he has a moral obligation to return the same or its value to his wife.
