Deal all with tactics then all problems will be solved.you will get the dowry but you won't get share in the property and maintainence since you are working.be there with mum ears.try to help in chores.gradually if all these doesn't work go for divorce

No divorce can be filed before completion of one year of marriage.However, you can file case under DV Act claiming compensation for harassment/abuses,right of residence,protection order etc.Collect as much evidence as you can for jewellery, dowry demand etc.After completion of one year file divorce on the grounds of cruelty.

Dear Querist

yes, you can claim the money and your Istridhan, from them if they are no ready to return and you are also willing to fight the cases before the court then you may file a criminal complaint against them before CAW Cell/Women Cell and the Police may registered the case against them u/s 498A/406 of IPC

you may file a criminal complaint under section 12 of Domestic Violence act, 2005 before magistrate court and claim the releif as child custody, if any, right to residence, compensation.

1. I would have advised filing for divorce, notwithstanding that the marriage is not a year old, in the event that you had some proof of the domestic abuse you have suffered at the hands of your husband and parents-in-law. However, as per your own submission, you do not have any proof yet. So it will not be wise to file for divorce yet. For the next 6 months you should collect proof of the domestic abuse in the form of audio/video recordings so that you have sufficient ammunition when you go to court for divorce. After the marriage attains a year, and the conduct of your husband does not change, you may file for divorce on the basis of the proof collected by you.

2. The jewellery that you brought from your parental house at the time of your marriage is your exclusive property. Your husband or in-laws cannot keep it in their custody.

3. You can file a case for dowry harassment in court against your husband and in-laws which can result in them being prosecuted and punished with an imprisonment of up to 3 years.

4. You may also file a case for domestic violence against your in-laws and husband to seek a restraint order against them. This restraint order once issued will restrain them from subjecting you to domestic violence again. Furthermore, you may seek compensation for the abuse suffered by you so far. In addition thereto, you may also seek maintenance from your husband.

5. Under the existing law you have no right on property of your husband. However, this may undergo a change if a new law proposing to give to wife 50% share in the property of her husband is passed by the Parliament.

6. You can ask for return of 1 lakh rupees that you spent on the wedding.

7. You cannot seek reimbursement of the amount you spent towards household expenses as this was done by you from your own free volition.

1) marriage is about constant compromises . when both husband and wife are working both should share household expenses equally .

2) your husband cannot throw you out of your matrimonial home . law gives you right to stay in matrimonial home or seek alternative accommodation under DV Act

3) thanks for your appreciation

as both of are earning no question of maintenances arise as it is only for a wife who is unable to maintain herself. secondly husband can not throw as you got right to stay in matrimonial house. for divorce you have to wait another six months

1. Law states that wife has no right on the property of her husband during her lifetime,

2. Wife can file a maintenance suit. She can also ask for residential right under DV Act and also protection. So, husbands can no longer throw wives out of the matrimonial house,

3. However, since you have already decided to file a dovorce petition after 6 months, staying seperated from him is not an issue any longer to you..

Since you are working you won't get maintainence

ur husband cannot throw u out of matrimonial house.

1. You cannot be thrown out of the matrimonial house under any circumstances even under the existing law. If any attempt is made by him to throw you out you can repel it by seeking a restraint and protection order from the court against him. It is impermissible for the husband to throw his wife out of the matrimonial house even if divorce proceedings are going on between the two.

2. The law proposing to give 50% share to the wife in property of her husband under some circumstances is on the anvil The bill which has been passed by the Rajya Sabha is stuck in Lok Sabha.
