Jwellery after marriage

Dear Experts,

My wife is staying away with her parents since around 4 months. We are not in talking terms with each other.

She has taken my 10 months old child also along with her and i have not met him since 4 months.

This weekend they called my relative and told that they have som wedding and they require jwellery to wear it in marriage. She took all the jwellery and all clothes which they had given from their side.

We wrote the the entire list of things and took their signature as well.

My question is whether i would land in any problem.

Thanks and Regards

Chetan.

As you prepared the list and obtained their signatures, there should be no problem.  I hope you have also got the signatures of reliable witnesses.

You have a documenty evidence. Dont't worry, they cant do against you.

But seems due to some comman dispute your wife living seoarate, Talk to her as well as prarents  about save your matrimonial life life. don't thinks about misleading .

you may save your matrimonial life with talk.

I agree to views till going to press.


1.
Did you get signature of witnesses in such list? If yes then you and your side are safe. If no then also if her and her side's people's signature are there you and your side's are still safe.

Yeah. I took the signature of my relatives who were present. But there were no relatives from their side. Everyone were from my side only.

Tajobsindia (Senior Partner )     01 June 2012

Ok.Good

1. Send good vibes (means good feelings in the air/ around) to her and her side so that nothing untoward happens in near future. By sending these good vibes they may also not have negative thoughts (i.e. thinking / getting influenced of using gender Laws on you and your side) is all that could be said now.

. It is obvious that she and her sides have signed as well as you and your relatives have signed in some maintained List of stridhan so let us keep this query to this stage and wish nothing more happens and couple lead healthy relationship with respective families.


But, I find your query interesting so far as one point concerns, that is I have been canvassing here to maintain List of Presents as per Rules for ages and for the first time I read here in a query that a husband and his side of family has taken precautions on stridhan which itself is good sign of progressing society keeping in view biased media news a common family hears/reads now-a-days. So awareness of Law is more or less there and it is not that people don’t know such Laws as made out by various queries

Dear Experts,

Thanks for the response. I know they have no marriage and they have just taken the jwellery.

One last question, if they bring jwellery after some days, should i take it back?

Because my thought process is, any jwellery taken after marriage could be constituted as taking dowry?

She is also insisting that we should stay separate from my parents.Is there any law that which prevents the wife from saying to husband to stay separate from his parents. 

Thanks and Regards

“She is also insisting that we should stay separate from my parents. Is there any law that which prevents the wife from saying to husband to stay separate from his parents.”

 


There are different ways to look at your emerging social / marital relationship issues;


One –
If you as husband fels “harmony in marriage” may be maintained by living separate from parents then there is no harm in trying and or giving it a shot as we say.


One on One
That is what now-a-days girl / her side wants i.e. creating / breaking families into nuclear DINKY families on guise of some or the other ‘adjustment problems” pretext.


Two –
There is no such Law for a wife to demand separate nest with spouse post marriage.


Two is to Two
- Ideas and nature of looking after each other between older and urban generation has seen sea change now-a-days and today one of the pre-condition for happy marital life is to first break husband’s bond with his side of family and indirectly making a husband just act like a lap dog in the name of ‘adjustments” One may opt for it if that is the way one sees to keep both sides HAPPY at the end.


[So there goes my rosy speech of spraying some vibes; the way your subsequent queries are emerging before the forum …………]

Dear Experts, Should i take the jwellery in case they bring it back. Regards Chetan.

Amar (Consultant)     04 June 2012

Dear Experts,

Can you please reply. Should i take the jwellery back as it could mount to taking a dowry.

Regards

Chetan.
