Hello,

File an FIR in the police station to claim the stridhan that is lying in your in laws house.

Note that divorce can not be filed before 1 year of the marriage. You can file a case of harassment against the husband and his family members.

This is ridiculous, I advice you to just have detail conversation with your husband, and if he still denies to take you then please I advice you to go for divorce as there is nothing to live with that person who doesn’t even respect you as there may be something good for you in future.

You can go for divorce on the ground of cruelty to you and your family.

Ask for all your belongings which you gave in marriage plus alimony also which also must be huge as per your own living standard.

That is not the case, if your rights are being violated then the police and court will rescue you.

Get in touch with a local lawyer.

Then you please also make a complain to the police under section 498A plus domestic violance also.

I know police may not do anything as per your saying that they have some political connection, but please don’t worry you can then go to the Mazistrate under section 156(3) for FIR registration, he will do justice for you.

Rest if you happen to have any difficulty you can have detail conversation with me over phone.

It sounds little uneasy but I advice you to take divorce as they are not the right person who deserve you as their daughter in law.

If I were you, I would think long and hard about whether this is a marriage worth saving. But I guess you know your situation best.

Be that as it may, you can apply under the Protection of Women from the Domestic Violence Act for amongst other things the protection of your right to stay in the shared household. You can also seek a protection order prohibiting your husband from alienating your streedhan (the gold jewellery, clothes, etc. that you referred to in your question).

Mam, you need to file an FIR for against everyone in there family for offence of outraging modest, criminal intimidation defamation, 498a, domestic violence for dowry, these people deserves to be behind the bars.

Also under section 406 for your gold and items.

See no body can force your husband to live with you if you file case they may agree but then also they wont treat you well so better to end such marriage.

If such is thing police donot take any action directly approach the Magistrate under crpc 156(3) file complaint they have to take action, if then also if not satisfactory you must file a writ in high court for registering FIR and take strict action and investigation against them.

Hire a good lawyer personally meet him tell your grievance he will bring all these people on knnes for there this behaviour.

Also, approach the Mahila Thana and lodge a FIR against your husband and in-laws for meeting out cruelty to you.

If your lawyer advises, also file a complaint against them under the Domestic Violence Act.

The greedy in laws and the husband have to be taught proper lesson so that your future married life will be safe and secured.

You directly lodge a complaint under section 498a, 406 IPC and section 3 and 4 of DP act against all of them, which will make them getting scared the jail experience.

Once there is a FIR agaisnt them, they may come down for compromise, then you can dictate terms.

i tried going to my in laws place and security guard denied to open up the gate.I called up on my landline and askwd my mother in law to send gate keys. she asked me to go back and threatened me saying that she will die because of me and she will hang me to death by writing a letter. my in laws are politically influenced.they openly challenge saying you people are wasting your time." police aur court humare pockets mein hai."

Dont get discouraged or dismayed by their threats .

You can pursue legal action as per law and bring them into the criminal books of records by filing proper legal cases on dowry harassment and domestic violence

2. You can also file for restitution of conjugal rights in the court. This proves your efforts to save the marriage;

3. If your husband still does not want to give chance to your marriage then, you can file for divorce;

4. You can also claim interim maintenance to be paid to you.
