Gold jewelry gifted by in laws.

Q:

Can I keep the gold jewelry that I got from my husbands family during the marriage. The jewelry was financed by my husband and not his parents and now the parents want to have the jewelry back.

A:

Assalamu Alaykum 

Thank you for your Question. 

If the gold was gifted to you, then you are the sole owner of it (regardless who paid for it). hence, no-one can demand or take it away from you. unless, you willingly decided to give it to them. 
 

hope this helps,
