Abstract

1 Which means of Stridhan: - As the world indicates, Stridhan contains two words Stri+Dhan. In this manner it implies Dhan of the 'Stri' for example ladies' property. The term 'Stridhana,' first happens in the Smritis and actually implies lady's property however different sages utilize the word in various faculties. Some broaden the extent of the word, others attempt to confine it, similar to a content of Manu states that a wife, a son and a balm can have no property and that the riches which they gain is obtained for him to whom they have a place. As indicated by Manu's pundits, this did not imply that they couldn't claim property, however they couldn't discard their property as per their own desires. This view additionally gets support from Gautama who explicitly concedes the privilege of a lady to hold separate property and accommodates its progression. Apastamba likewise hold a similar view and referenced that the portion of the wife comprises of the decorations and the riches, which she may have gotten from her relations.
