the wife needs to file a complaint under domestic violence act and in case the husband has a share in the matrimonial home, then the court may direct him to not to part with or alienate his share of property in order to defeat the claim of wife. she may also recover her stridhan through magistrate under DV act.
The court may be entitled to pass appropriate orders as per facts and situation of the case.
