Court is not ready to accept it and passed interim order to return stridhan to all 4 of us. in absence of my brother whatever was available with us we have returned her. but she is harrassing us & thretening us to put me and my parents in jail as all the belongings as per her list is not returned.Actually her list is false.She has also given application in the court to arrest me & my parents.

She has filed case in gujarat. we are living in mumbai.

For stridhan she has not submitted any proofs such as bills / wedding photos. but still order is passed to return stridhan.
