The cousin of the husband has no right to hold back the dowry articles, as the same belong to the divorcee wife. There is no relevance of the reason that the husband owes room rent. The divorcee wife can serve notice to both husband and his cousin to return the articles, and even lodge a police complaint against the cousin about illegal possession of the property of the divorcee wife.

1) The Cousin of the husband has grossly mistaken in thinking that the husband is the owner of dowry artcle given by the wife's side, on which he can have charge for not getting rent.
2) The said article belong to the wife personally & she can file application u/s406, 420 IPC.

dear, don't worry about the section. you only need to complain to the police station in writing that the dowry articles of yours are not being returned by your husband as well as his cousin . the rest will follow u/s 406 and 420

Return of Streedhan should have been settled before dissolution of marriage. In case of cousin of husband's denial of having those articles in his possession, the situation would be very difficult. Very weak case for 406 IPC.
