You can lodge a diary to the Police and file a Criminal Case u/sec.156(3) Cr.P.C. charge with sec.498a and 406 IPC in Judicial Magistrate Court for return back your "Stridhan" articles.If you do not have independent income then you can also file a case u/sec.125 Cr.P.C. for your maintenance.For divorce you can file a Divorce Suit on contest in Family or District Court with an application for alimony pen dente-lite in the same court.

since he is not interested in giving divorce you have no option but to contest divorce under section 13(1)(ia) of Hindu Marriage Act .For your jewellery and other articles you will have to file complaint under section 498A and 406 of IPC in women cell to get back your jewellery item and more over they can also help you in getting mutual divorce as you are not interested in living with him and there is seperation of one year also which is necessary for getting divorce on mutual basis that is under 13b of HMAct.

you have stated that your husband does not want to give you divorce . you have been staying separately as your husband was not working . it makes no sense in staying with a husband who refuses to work to support his family . file for divorce under section 13(1) (a) of HMA .

for return of your streedhan you can file complaint under section 498A of IPC with local police station . . if you are able to reach an amicable settlement your existing divorce petition can be converted into divorce by mutual consent . contact a local lawyer

Hi, if he does not willing to get divorce you can filed a divorce case against your husband as suggested by learned friend but one thing you can also file a petition for maintenance under section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for maintenance as it is the duty of the husband to maintain his wife and you can also file maintenance application in the case of divorce also.

Hi,

Is ur husband fully Unemployed? I mean to say he not earning at all or he is not earning a sufficient amt? I m of the view that if he is earning less u both can together work hard and run the house.

However if he is a lazy brat and just want to enjoy ur earning, I totally agree with other advocates reply. U can file u/s 125 for Maintanence and u/s 498 a to obtain ur Jewellery. But then again what amt will he give when he himself is unemployed?

Also if it's possible to settle amicably, go for mutual divorce to avoid other legal hassles.

1. If you foresee no hope of survival of your marriage then apply for divorce on the ground of spousal cruelty.

2. You may also apply for maintenance to support yourself financially. It is his duty as a husband to lend financial support to you.

3. In order to recover your streedhan and amount spent on marriage you may file a case for breach of trust against him.
