Which of the following statements best describes the concept of Stri-Dhan under Hindu Law

• Stri-Dhan: • Derived from the words 'Stri' (woman) and 'Dhan' (property), Stri-Dhan is the property gifted to a woman voluntarily  before, during, or after marriage. • It includes gifts from her parents, relatives, husband, and others, but it excludes dowry. • A woman has full ownership and the absolute right to use, control, or dispose of her Stri-Dhan as she pleases. • Examples of Stri-Dhan: Jewelry, cash, property, or gifts given by the woman’s parents or relatives. • Legal Provisions and Cases: • The concept of Stri-Dhan is upheld under Section 14 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, which ensures that  Stri-Dhan is the woman’s absolute property. • In Pratibha Rani vs. Suraj Kumar (1985), the Supreme Court of India clarified the distinction between dowry and Stri-Dhan,  affirming a woman’s exclusive rights over her Stri-Dhan. • Dowry: • Under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, dowry refers to any property or valuable security demanded or  given directly or indirectly in connection with marriage. • Unlike Stri-Dhan, dowry is illegal in India and is considered a punishable offense. • Key Differences: • Stri-Dhan is voluntarily gifted without coercion, while dowry involves compulsion or societal pressure. • Stri-Dhan is legal and protected by law, while dowry is prohibited.
