1. All the gifts given to her from either side of marriage is considered to be her stridhan and hence she alone has exclusive rights over this. Whether you will hand over those to her on mutual consent divorce will depend on terms of settlement between two of you.

2. In mutual divorce the terms of divorce depends on mutual agreement of the parties. There is no law guiding the parties on this. So if you can convince her you need not pay anything.

3. If you are parting ways then bury the past and dissolve the marriage amicably. If she has greed for money without alimony MCD is unlikely to happen,

1) you have to return jewellery given to wife at time of marriage

2) if there is not substantial differences in income wide would not be awarded alimony

3) file for divorce by mutual consent

4) MCD takes 6 months

All the above questions can be answered only by the fact that on what term you consented to divorce her. If it is by mutual consent then she has no right to ask any unwarranted thing from you.

1. Technically yes she can claim that also under stridhan even after mutual divorce but if she agrees in the agreement that she has received her stridhan and do not want anything from you then you don't have to give it.

2. In mutual divorce.you both can decide alumni court doesn't interfare in contested divorce you have to contest that wife earns and can maintain her self there are several judgments favouring you know.

3. If you have evidence to effect has.to present before.court.

it better to her a give small amount take mutual divorce and ask her to take her complaint back or get it quashed then you can restart your life otherwise in there false cases and contested divorce a great deal of time money resources will be wasted.

1. Yes. The jewelry and article brought by her from her parents and family members and also what ever she was gifted with by you and your family members are considered as her Streedhan on which no body other than herself has any right.

2. Spoiling your life is not a ground for denying payment of alimony. However, she is not entitled to any alimony since she is well employed.

3. If you have collected evidence of her insisting you to separate from your old parents then you can file the divorce suit on the ground of cruelty since Supreme Court has considered the act of insisting the husband by wife to separate from his old parents, as cruelty for seeking divorce. Their being money minded is no ground for legally seeking divorce from your wife or any legal action against them.

The answers to your first question is NO but you need to pay the alimony if you wish to get divorce in an amicable split other wise you have contest the divorce and court will decide the alimony.

What ever is the motive but she is your wife and this fact is important.

1. In legal terms the jewels what were presented to her from her parents side and her husband's side are termed as 'stridhan', in which only she has rights and no one else.

Therefore legally you may have to return the same, but it depends on the practical situation too.

2. The question is not about who spoiled whose life, the law is that the legally wedded wife is entitled for alimony on divorce and monthly maintenance during the period of separation if they are still married.

But you can refuse to pay hr alimony citing her employment and salary income as reason.

Let the court decide, she may not be eligible for alimony.

Dear Sir,

Please enter to mutual divorce by accepting her most of the reasonable conditions and get rid of her. Otherwise it is very difficult to proceed with divorce cases.

1. Yes, that is her property and therefore you will have to return the same. Moreover, mutual consent is the mutual understanding between two. I she is ready to give divorce without taking the jewelry then also it is alright.

2. In case of mutual divorce, alimony depends on you two. If she is asking for some nominal amount then I would advise you to give the same and part your ways.

3. If she is just after money then do not give her any amount and file a case for divorce on the ground of mental cruelty.

Regards

1. Both has to get relieved of their marital obligations by recovering their valuables before going for mutual divorce.

All the consideration regarding separation are to be decided mutually in a mutual consent divorce, including return of streedhan, payment of alimony and maintenance and other important issues such as who will retain the custody of children etc.

1. Do we have to give her the jewellery that we had presented her even if we are going for mutual divorce? -- That depends on your mutual understanding, Such gifts counts in stridhan , so if recovery through court, yes.

2. Do we still need to give her alumni considering she has spoilt my life instead and also that she earns almost the same as me? -- Maintenance is her right, but cause of her earning capacity, alimony shall be low.

3. She has always been behind my money and her family always wanted money from our separation even when we were staying together. ---

1. As the police complaint already filed against you, obtain AB to avoid arrest.

2. Whatever the jewelry you gifted to her, you do not need to give her back. It is the burden from your side to prove such jewelry is your own.

3. Alimony or maintenance is based on the court proceedings. Now it is too early to comment.

4. Family members and lawyers from both of the party can negotiate on 'one time settlement' before seeking MCD from court.
