dowry get back from husband

Dont say it has a dowry, juz say that out of love and affection,also considering the well being of thier daughter thier parents had provide this much jewellery and others things during the marriage. File maintenance case + domestic violence case also bec you can claim for maintanence in both the way.There is nothing wrong in filing two cases at a time!

She can initiate action to get back the 'stridhan' as well for getting maintainance for hersel and the child. Custody of the child is unrelated these issues. Generally, the mother is entitled for the custody of the infant chilrdren, esp. the girl child.

if the husband and wife can not stay together it is better to go for divorce as that is in the best interest of the child and also best for the husband and wife to save precious years of life and to not to spend money in litigation and rather use the money and time wisely
