Dowry harassment

Can My wife file any case in the police station while my divorce petition in the court ?

They gave me 25 soverign of gold to their girl (No demand from our side ) and they provided me 2 shirts/pants and 4gms of gold ..

I never demanded any money/gold from her.. all marriage expenses are out of our pocket ?

But i insisted to do custom procedures like diwali gifts/ baby tonsure / baby naming ceremony funtions etc... like that

Can she book me under dowry harassment on basis of above sitation?

yes case can be filed but proving in court very very difficult.

Dowry means 1. Money or property brought by a bride to her husband at marriage. Also called dower.

2. A sum of money required of a postulant at a convent.

3. A natural endowment or gift; a talent.

But i never demanded them any money.... What they gave her daughter is their own wish.... Moreover i never thought of sending her home based on money or gold issues till now...

But i insisted to do custom procedures like diwali gifts/ baby tonsure / baby naming ceremony funtions etc... like that

It is common in our society .. Isn't it... Giving something to son-in-law on few occasions is common....Will that be considered as dowry ?
