i am hindu.i have asked my wife to brought jewelery articles which already gifted to us on marriage ceremoney by her parents for to go to the temple in my native village.bcause it shows my status in my native village.this is the only the intention i had asked.i have asked my wife for this only once.and their parents through cell three times to brought them.but surpringly her father came and taken her to thier home with reason that her mother was sick at mid night.and then they dont send her to my home.i suspects that they sold the gold.my question is is it single incident comes under dowry demand?

If you prove that it is a gift by your in-laws then it does not amount to dowry, however, it is open for your wife or her father to complain of dowry demand.
