A lady cousin of mine has just got widowed
She is a Hindu
They had no children as a couple
She lived with him till last moment when he died of prolonged battle with cancer
After death her husband's family has forcefully retained control of
1) All jewellery gifted by them and husband constituting streedhan to the lady
2) All his property documents
3) All personal effects
My query
1) Can Widow make a complaint under 498 or DV act to recover streedhan
2) Does the denial of financials due to her by relatives of ex-husband constitute mental and financial harassment under DV act ?
3) Who has rights to husband's personal effects
4) How can she recover the papers related to property handed in fiduciary capacity to boy's father( She does not have any idea of entire property details)
Note Family and property is in haryana but widow lives and works in Delhi
