My streedhan not returned

So withdrawing 2 lack from my account comes under wat? If not streedhan? How do u get it back. Lawyer says that since it was a joint account ,my husband can withdraw the amount. but it was without my knowledge he took that amount. And the money in that account was only my salary which I got by cheque.

I have a call recording in which my mother in law is telling my mother the lists of items which has to be given like fridge 2 wheeler washing machine etc. And my mother in law is saying that its shameful on my parents part that how can they even think of marrying without giving all items. "People will laugh at us that how can we bring bahu without all such items". Is this call recording a useful evidence for 498a?

"Already they have taken 2 laks cash from my salary account. And not returning that also."

 

Was this money withdrawn fraudently or against your wish!

 

If you have parted by your sweet will, then why to create noise on it now!

 

So he can take my salary without my knowledge also?

How will you prove that it was without knowledge?

If it is a joint account that means he is authorised to widraw the money. So there is nothing legally wrong,

No, it is not 498a

498a deals with cruelty for dowry. Mere demand of gift before or after marriage is not 498a

The Supreme Court has ruled that demand for money and presents from parents of a married girl at the time of birth of her child or for other ceremonies, as is prevalent in society, may be deprecable but cannot be categorised as dowry to make it a punishable offence.

 

This means, if a daughter-in-law is being harassed for customary gifts by parents-in-law, then they could be booked under ordinary penal provisions but not under the tough anti-dowry laws providing stringent punishments.

 

Acquitting the parents-in-law of a woman who had accused them of harassing her for dowry, a Bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat and S Sathasivam took help of a 2001 judgment of SC to say that not all demands from the parents-in-law could be categorised as 'dowry' under the Dowry Prohibition Act. It said though the Act covers payment of money or articles during, before or after marriage by the girl's parent to her in-laws, the cash and presents given had to have a link with the marriage to become objectionable in law.

 

"Other payments which are customary payments, for example given at the time of birth of a child or other ceremonies as are prevalent in different societies, are not covered by the expression 'dowry'," said Justice Pasayat, writing the judgment for the Bench.

they kept my gold my salary my clothes.. and still I cant do anything.. thanku.. I understand now how the opposite lawyer will question me in the court. I dont know why they say women's rights are strong in india. There are so many loop holes to escape..

my mother in law harrased me mentally just because my parents failed to give certain gifts during and after marriage. just for a saree which my parents didnt give her in a festival she harassed me so many times...does it matter.. ? Then what the hell is dowry? They can torture me mentally for such gifts to be given to her and I have to keep quiet?

Thanku members..

See they have not spent a single penny on me. What I said abt 2 laks was without my knowledge.. rest many times we were spending on household expenses equally.And its like I have to tolerate their non sense and as I refused to tolerate I am the one who is cruel to separate a son from their parents.. this is law.

Best time for women for compromise is when husband applies for anticipatory bail because both are unaware what will be the court decision, but once husband gets bail. Both are sailing in same boat.

And in your case you are working so, you cannot claim maintenance

 

Better is to compromise as early as possible.

 

 

 

 

How can Rs.2Lacs be taken from your bank a/c without your knowledge?

Either you establish fraud or hope that averments shall be accepted by court.

 

Focus on your career to build it for future.

Don't remain entangled in disputes at the cost of your career and future.
