Streedhan is legally a woman's own property, gifts given to her only, but dowry is illegal demand for the man's family. But in our lives, the difference gets blurry, na? What comes in my *shagun* thali is counted by my in-laws as part of the "gift exchange". My gold, kept safe *for me*, is also seen as family's security for bad times. So the law says mine, but life says ours.
