SC declares ‘Streedhan’ as Woman’s Exclusive Property.The Supreme Court held that abused women judicially separated from their husbands had every right to invoke the domestic violence law to get back their ‘streedhan’. The ‘streedhan’, a gift in gold valuables given to a woman by her family, is her “exclusive and absolute property.”
A husband had only a qualified right over a women’s ‘streedhan’- the right to use it in times of distress.
“Judicial separation” is a period of suspension of marriage granted by the court. This time may be used by the couple to explore the possibilities of reviving their broken marriage. If the result is negative, the court annuls their marriage with a decree of divorce.
