Exchange of articles in mcd

It was decided first that Bridal side & Groom side will exchange peacefully the articles given by each other. Hence Groom side returned all articles to Bridal side including jewellary given to Groom for Groom by Bridal side, Appliances, Utensils, etc. etc., which is not a part of Streedhan according to our knowledge. And Bridal side returned Jewellary given to Bride by the Groom.

Now Bridal side is claiming for Streedhan (i.e. Jewellary given by Groom to Bride. Jewellary given by Bridal side is already with Bridal side). In this case can Groom side demand for the articles which are not a part of Streedhan, which were returned by Groom to Bride?

Have you / your side read clearly the SC Citation I placed as reply to your earlier query?

If yes then no point asking round Robin queries.

If not then do re-read it with your advocate once again.

Dear Kulraj , 

 

Uncle tajobs has already replied to your post  earlier as below  , but yet you are asking the same question ?? I apperciate the patience of  my uncle :)

 

 

1. Streedhan is the gift given by bride or groom's side including strangers to the bride who has absolute power over it is called Streedhan in simple way.

2. However, anything given to be of joint use by the husband and wife is notStreedhan.

3. The only Judgment from Hon'ble SC judgment in ref. Pratibha Rani vs. Suraj Kumar https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1684706/ is authority on asked subject.

"A perusal of the list reveals that so far as the jewellery and clothes, blouses, nighties and gowns are concerned they could be used only by the wife and were her stridhan. By no stretch of imagination could it be said that the ornaments and sarees and other articles mentioned above could also be used by the husband, If, therefore, despite demands these articles were refused to be returned to the wife by the husband and his parents, it amounted to an offence of criminal breach of trust. In mentioning the articles in the list, we have omitted furniture and utensils which though also belonged to the complainant yet there is some room for saying that these were meant for joint use of the husband and wife."


4.
 Does it include Engagement Ring given to Groom from Bridal side?
NO.


5.
 Does it includes any other jewellary given to Groom from Bridal side at the time of marriage and after marriage?
NO.


6. 
Does it mean the jewellary given to Bride only at time of marriage from Groom & Bridal side? or after and before marriage also?
In consideration of marriage + during marriage + anytime post marriage are colly. called as Streedhan PERIOD


Some dozens of months back I wrote an article about seeedhan search same under my profile "Forum" messages if you want to know in depth about asked subject.
