Legal Question in Family Law in India

1. You cannot be thrown out of the house. You are right to live there without anybody's permission. If they try to abuse / harm you, you may report to the police. It will be a case of "domestic violence". You are complete protection under the law.

2. Yes, you can join a job of your choice, if your husband is not supporting you financially. You are right over your husband's income for your good living. You can also claim money from your husband's salary. If your husband refuses to give you money, that is also covered under "domestic violence".

3. You can demand return of your cash and gifts and other belongings from your in-laws because that is your "istridhan" in law. If they refuse to return your "istridhan", you may lodge a complaint against them with the local police.
