My friend, a Christian woman, was married into a Hindu family without any dowry. She endured physical and emotional abuse from her husband and father-in-law. After having a child, she pursued higher education in the UK, funded by her father-in-law, but her husband accompanied her and continued his torment, forbidding her from working. Following her return to India, she emailed the women's cell, detailing her suffering, but received a lukewarm response. Now, her husband and family are threatening her, demanding 24 lakhs, claiming it's repayment, and warning of harm to her family.
How to move legally? Does she have to pay the money ?
