Dear Madam, It is called financial cruelty and dowry by instalments. Immediately lodge a complaint to recover the same. Better meet Lady IPS officer. Also file Domestic Violence case and take restraint order and stay in the matrimonial house to teach them a lesson.
Dear Client, As per your query, you can bring harassment, economic exploitation, and dowry demands against your husband and in-laws under various provisions. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (Section 3) gives relief in the form of Protection Orders and Monetary Compensation for emotional and economic abuse. Section 85 of BNS, 2023, deals with cruelty by husband or his relatives, including harassment for dowry. Section 316 of BNS, 2023 deals with Criminal breach of trust, which would apply if they have illegally taken away your jewelry, under section 351 of BNS, 2023, you can prevent criminal intimidation. Under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, Section 3 prohibits dowry demands or demands of jewelry or even money. You can file an FIR under these provisions and seek protection orders, and through the courts get your belongings returned. Feel free to book an appointment for a detailed discussion on the issue.
