You can move a police Complaint against your husband.

Anything including monetary/cash goods, that were presented to your at the time of your marriage, will constitute your streedhan; and it's your property.

If you want talk to your husband. I think the issue isn't really big and things can be resolved if you both take assistance of a marriage counselor.

Dear Client,

If u have proof of adultery and hiring for physical encounters, you can file complain u/s 5 of The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956.

Every demand whether direct / indirect, comes under dowry case.

Gifts given in marriages - depends on whom it was given, either to husband or daughter, to in laws its dowry.

But u can claim that money, as stridhan is absolute right of women and cannot be taken away from her.

Dear,

If you want to do complain, then collect more evidence against him.

And first of all talk to him and solved the matter without anybody interference.

If you will not satisfied then you complain and liable to divorce also.

For dowry case, It is a clear case of dowry,there parent's are liable.

Yes, whatever you read is right.

Firstly lodge a complaint 498A with police for dowry harassment and also you can file a divorce petition under ground of cruelty and adultery under Section 13(1)(ia) of hindu marriage act.

Since you have a kid to take care of first.File a petition for maintenance under section 125Crpc seeking maintenance for you and your child.

1) You can file against him dowry case and adultery case.

Money given by will doesn't come in dowry. Demand of money comes in dowry. You can file adultery against him.

It is very unfortunate mam that despite the tha fact that prostitution is not legal in India, still people can’t be held liable for punishment even if they caught red handed.

But, yes he is liable for bigamy which can be used as ground for divorce, and put on heavy alimony for you Mam.

You can file a complaint under Section 498 a IPC as well as Section 3 & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 against your husband and inlaws for accepting dowry as well as demanding more dowry , but you should have documentary evidence to prove the same in court as the burden of proof lies with the prosecution i.e. you will have to prove your allegations and every allegation has to be proved beyond reasonable doubt.

With regards to adultery, you cannot file a criminal complaint against your husband for adultery. Adultery under the Indian Penal Code is not available to a woman. It was incorporated solely for the husband of a married woman to prosecute the man she is having an affair with.

But, you can file for divorce on such grounds, provided you have sufficient proof.

Regards.

Firstly do not reveal whatever proof you have found against your husband. Secondly, you can not file a complaint against your husband u/s 497 but you can seek dissolution of your marriage on the ground of his adultery. But to understand whether what material or evidence you have is sufficient or not, you need to consult a lawyer who can guide you on this aspect after inspecting the evidence.

Why are your in-laws' asking for money through your relative grandfather? Whether it comes under Dowry or not depends upon the circumstances and without analysing the same, no concrete answer can be provided.

However, in this scenario, given that you have a small kid, i would advise you to collect proof of your husband's adultery and use that to coerce him into giving you a good settlement, after which you obtain Divorce by mutual consent and move on in your life.

A wife cannot lodge any criminal complaint against her husband for his extra marital affairs.

It is not a crime.

Your relative grandfather's problem should be dealt by him, it cannot be considered as dowry demand especially if it is not based on you.

You can demand the Five lakhs given by your father to them or you can file a dowry harassment case on the basis of the evidences of this.
