The Supreme Court has issued a ruling clarifying ownership of jewellery and gifts received during a marriage. The court determined that jewellery given to a bride by her parents or family is considered her absolute property, not jointly owned by the couple. Similarly, gifts specifically presented to the bride, and not the couple collectively, remain her sole possession. This decision addresses a long-standing legal ambiguity regarding the ownership of such items in the event of divorce or separation. Legal experts state the ruling provides clarity and strengthens a woman’s financial security within marriage. The court emphasized the importance of distinguishing between gifts intended for the bride individually versus those for the couple as a unit. This judgement is expected to influence future divorce settlements involving similar assets.
