I transferred USD worth approximately ₹2 crore to my mother’s account over several years (not within a 3-year window), believing they would save or invest the money on my behalf. Instead, they bought properties in their own name, delayed my marriage by not seriously looking for suitable matches, and never disclosed the wealth I had sent to them.

During my own wedding preparations, I realized they were treating my hard-earned money as their personal income. They refused to spend even a single rupee on me, even though I fulfilled all their financial burdens—including fully paying for my sibling’s education.

As a daughter, I have never been a financial burden on them—neither for my education nor for my wedding expenses. I have met all my responsibilities. Yet when I confronted them about the money, they outright lied and refused to return anything. Even relatives could not change their stance.

They did gift me two properties during my marriage but those were bought 20years ago- not with the money I sent, and my father still retains full control over them.

How can I proceed legally from here?
