If it is Year 2002 or 2003....then u don't need to worry as harrasment case can only be booked during first 7 years of marriage

Arpan, u r wrong about the 7 year thing. ‘Within seven years of her marriage’ applies to IPC 304B which is a dowry death case. 498a has no such relief. This is basic stuff.
