Wedding ceremony expenditure

Try and get the evidence, bills, reciept of payments.

If the marriage falls under  void category, ie under prohibited relationships, sapinda relations (brother sister, cousins cousins marriage) if the person is of unsound mind, marriage done via fraud, misrepresentation, hiding facts of insanity, and other forms of void marriage.  Then they can ask back marriage expenses.  Otherwise, you too have spent and they too have spent.  IF they dont want to continue with marriage, and such marriage being valid on in accordance with Hindu Marriage Act 1956, then they can utmost ask permanent alimony from you under the same act, provided she is incapable to maintain herself ie being uneducated, no job, no source of income and you being legally wedded husband have to provide maintenance to her interim also and permanent also, as decided by court.  Or else no question of you returning marriage expenses.  If you return hers, they should techincally return ur marriage expenses.

 

In the event marriage is called off, then ethically you are bound to give back money spent on the function.

She can't claim whole marriage expense, she can only claim her stridhan and she need to prove that she purchased that items and those items are in the possession of her in laws.

 

No. Marriage expenses cannot be claimed in DV case. But she can claim stri dhan articles, presentations, i.e., the presents given to her before, during and immediately after the marriage by either from wife's side or husband's side and all those become stridhan and she can claim them proving that they ar stri dhan articles.
