The demand of dowry is an offence under section 4 of THE DOWRY PROHIBITION ACT, 1961.

Then no doubt you can file a complaint either by lodging an FIR or application before CJM u/s156(3) Cr.P.C.

But the main question is that doing all this shall not result in solemnization of marriage.
In civil law even compensatory suit for damages for breach of a contract of marriage would be available .

BUT THE POINT IS THIS THAT NO LAW CAN FORCE THEM TO PERFORM THE MARRIAGE.

Yes i do agree

I disagree, even though the case u/s 4 DP Act might be registered, it would not be very big. (Unfortunately or fortunately, it is non-cognizable)

The resolution lies in either amicable talks or for civil suits for damages and recovery.
