Dowry complaint
LEGAL-CIVIL CRIMINAL
(Querist) 19 March 2014
This query is : Resolved
IN MOST OF THE MARRIAGE RELATED CASES THE BRIDE SAYS THEY HAVE GIVEN HUGE DOWRY.
NORMALLY THE OTHER SIDE TRIES TO CONTRADICT IT BY EVIDENCE THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THAT MUCH CAPACITY.
HOWEVER IF ON STRENGTH OF THIS PLEADING IF COMPLAINT U/S 3 OF DOWRY ACT IS GIVEN WHAT WILL BE IMPLICATIONS.
In my case the the other side that is bride has claimed that her parents has given dowry of two lacs cash and 75 gms gold worth three lacs. So can I file a complaint in the same court under 156 (3) and what will be implications for me.

Dear Querist
before filing the complaint you should read section 7(3) of D.P. Act.
