My sister got married in 2010 and filed a dowry case against her in-laws. She later filed another case in 2012 demanding her ‘stridhan’ (wedding gifts). She submitted a detailed list of items with receipts as proof. We didn’t create a list during her wedding. Is it crucial to have a list prepared beforehand? How can we compile one, given gifts received before and after the wedding? Are there any rulings from the High Court or Supreme Court on this matter?

While having a pre-wedding list is not mandatory, it strengthens your sister’s claim. You can compile a list by gathering receipts, witness statements, and even informal records of gifts received. Several High Court and Supreme Court rulings emphasize the importance of identifying and proving the existence of ‘stridhan’ items.
