However, after marriage, when the complainant after reaching her matrimonial home, asked for the stridhan, the same was not handed over to her.

It is further stated therein that for some time she alongwith her husband had also resided separately at Mohali, but her husband kept on giving beatings to her being instigated by other members of his family. 3.
