Solve it with discussions, and take help of nearby Social workers/ Councillors, to solve the problem.
Act in low profile to save marriage.

file complaint under 498A . the more torture you bear more it will continue . giving of dowry is also an offence

You can definitely make complaint as desired though all possible efforts for the amicable solution should be resorted first.
