VYA WASTHA.DARPANA. 736 , That is declared by Kátyáyana : “The wealth, which is carned by mechanical arts, or which is received through affection from any other, (than the kindred,) (d) is always subject to the husband's dominion. The rest is pronounced to be the woman's property.” (d) Over that, which has been received by her from “any other” than the family of her father, mother, or husband, or has been earned by...her in the practice of mechanical art, her husband has dominion and full control. He has a right to take it, even though no distress exist. Hence, though the goods be hers, they do not constitute woman's property; because she has not independent power ower them, (Dá. bhá. 73;) and because, according to the above text of Åá/9áyama, the husband has absolute dominion over that property.

The other descriptions of Stridhan defined in the texts cited, namely,–the wealth received at the nuptial fire(1)+, presented in the bridal procession(2)t, given by the father(3), received from the father's relatives(4), given by the mother(5), receited from the mother's relatives(6), movable property given by the husband(7)t, property received .
