How it is possible to kill your husband and still remain MARRIED. You are right if they actually tortured you but if you filed false FIR then only god or a sincere person can save your marriage. On one hand you are worried about your marriage and on other hand you want jewellery. . . . Whats this.

even if the jewelry was given by your in laws, that falls within the definition of stridhan and in laws cannot claim it back. in case you want the matter to be resolved, you may seek the help of a mediator.
