Streedhan is the right of a married woman. She is entitled to have it even after divorce or remarriage. However, she will not succeed unless it is proved that you have misappropriated it. Mere retention of streedhan by you may not amount misappropriation. Hence, you must show that you have not misappropriated the streedhan articles. Of course if the facts permit, you should take defence that the articles do not constitute streedhan.
