she can file a complaint against her uncle for cheating and criminal breach of trust. 

Streedhan is the property that a woman obtains at the time of her marraige. 

Your friend is right in this situation as the gold belongs to her after divorce also and she can legally ask for her gold because it is her stree dhan.

She need to send them a legal notice for returning the gold along with interest for period when they used the gold. 

Chances are good. But she need to file a complaint with police under section 406,420 IPC against her uncle. 

Dear Sir,

It is better to file a civil as well as criminal complaint against that person and recovery the gift gold. She will get it back if she go for legally.

As per The Supreme Court of India:

“a Hindu married woman is the absolute owner of her Streedhan property and can deal with it in any manner she likes and, even if it is placed in the custody of her husband or her in-laws they would be deemed to be trustees and bound to return the same if and when demanded by her”.

The word Streedhan is derived from the combination of two words i.e. stree meaning woman and dhan which means property so StreeDhan is the property of a woman. This property includes whatever woman receives before or after the marriage i.e during maidenhood, the subsistence of marriage or widowhood. As per the Hindu philosophy, Streedhan is the absolute property of a woman and she has the right to gift/will away as per her own will. She does not even require the consent of her husband. A husband may/may not use it, but, if he uses it, then he must return the same to his wife when required. This includes all the movable and immovable property received by her. The following things are included under Streedhan:

• Gifts include all kinds of jewellery (gold, silver, precious or semi-precious stones etc), property and other valuables like a car, paintings, artefacts, appliances, furniture etc. gifted to the woman at marriage, before marriage and during the course of her marriage. In case of a dispute, a list of all the items signed by two witnesses can be given to make a claim.
• Gifts can come from anyone—parents, in-laws, relatives, friends and acquaintances.
• Woman’s earnings before or after marriage from employment or business. Any savings or investments made from her earnings.

1. The woman should make a list of all the gifts and properties received before, during and after marriage from her family, husband’s family, friends, and other acquaintances.
2. The woman should keep evidence for all the gifts received such as wedding pictures. Also, ensure that the gifts and their bills are in her name and preserve these bills.
3. The woman should have witnesses. The statements of witnesses will be important evidence for gifts of movables (including jewellery) at the time of marriage.
4. The woman should maintain a separate account in her name for her salary.
5. 
   The woman should get involved in the family financial decision-making and keep a record of bank accounts and the investments made out of her Streedhan.
6. The woman should ensure that the title to the property given to her and those bought from her Streedhan are clear and that the investments made from these assets are in her name.
7. The woman should open a bank locker in her name for storing jewellery and instruments of money, property and so on.
8. 
   It is advisable for the woman’s parents to gift her income-generating property, rather than expensive consumer items. It becomes often difficult to give full detail accounts for the consumer items.

Whatever gifted to her in wedding from either side is her stridhan and sole owner to it. Ask her to file FIR, that uncle asked her jewellery to keep in custody, but mortgage them to obtain loan. List of jewelry may have prepared at the time of divorce.

And jewellery will recognize from the possession of bank.

1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that only your friend is right, but not any one else here.
2. If somebody is gifting something to someone then the same property becomes of the person to who’s it has been gifted. Thereafter, only she can give it to someone else after executing any release or gift deed.
3. In present case, she only gave it to her uncle but gifted.
4. She should file a civil suit before the civil court of law for the recovery of her things on the basis of the recordings that she has where they are at least saying that the same was gifted to her.
