Use of women’s money
The woman can use her money as she wishes. No one can stop her or force her to do so. Apart from this, if a woman gives her money to her husband to use as per his wish in a life crisis, she can give her jewellery to her husband. But the husband will have to return his wife’s money in return. When the husband’s work is completed, he should return all the Stridhan to his wife.
force with a woman
The court has also said that in times of trouble, the husband can use the Stridhan. But only when his wife willingly wants to give him her Stridhan. If the wife refuses or refuses to give Stridhan, then the husband cannot force her. The woman should have full rights over her Stridhan, whether it is before marriage or after marriage.
dishonest misappropriation of woman’s wealth
Remember that a woman has full rights over all the things she has received. Apart from this, a woman can sell or keep the entire property of Stridhan as per her wish. She will not be stopped from doing this. According to the court, if Stridhan is misused dishonestly, then it is a crime.
