1. For return of mangaksutra no case will lie as it's the stridhan of wife.

2. If you have no independent source of income you can file case of maintenance under section 125 crpc against any of your sons.

1. Mangalsutra, in the particular matter after availing the decree of divorce, will be treated as the asset/property/jewelry of your wife which you being her divorced the husband can not claim.

2. After the divorce the said Mangalsutra will have no religious value for both of you and will be considered as her another jewelry/asset/property/streedhan.

Yes, you can because in mutual consent divorce if you wants a thing then you can get otherwise you have right to withdraw your consent. If there is any hard nd fast situation for you to get mangalsutra then demand it and if she is not ready for that then withdraw your consent.

If your sons have sufficient means and they are earning then you may file a maintenance case against them before family court and claim maintenance under section 125 of criminal procedure code if you are unable to maintain your self.

It depends on the conditions of the mutual consent divorce.

You can demand the return of the gold piece of the mangal sutra

As per law, any gift including the mangalsutra belongs to the women as it becomes part of her stridhan

You can very well file maintenance case seeking maintenance from your son provided you are not having any source of income and have to depend on them. The divorce shall not be a hinderance to this situation.
