When I was single, I bought a piece of land and gave my mother, the documents to keep for me. I later built a house on that land. After I got married, I asked her to return the documents, but she told me the property now belongs to her simply because I am married. In other words, she said that everything I owned before marriage no longer belongs to me but to her. My siblings also support her decision.

The most senior member of our family has called them several times, instructing them to return my documents and property, but they have refused to listen. I am confused and don’t know what to do. How can I reclaim my property?
