1.girls party immediately can refuse for giving dowry, and don't go for marriage ...but not.
YOU PRBABLY DID NOT COME ACROSS A DOWRY DEMANDER. UNDER THE P[RESENT LEGAL SYSTEM THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR MODUS. THEY REMAIN COOL TILL MARRAIGE DATE IS VERY CLOSE AND GIRL'S PARENTS ARE HELPLESS AND THEN KNIT THE NOOSE AND PULL AFTER MARRIGE.
YES YOU ARE TRUE SOME PERSONS REFUSE DOWRY WHEN DEMANDED AT LAST MOMENT AND THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF BARAT GOING TO THANA AND REFUSAL OF MARRIAGE.
2. police can file case for encaraging such nasty tradition and make publicity to suppress it...but not.
NOT CLEAR. DOWRY DEMAND IS NON-CONGNIZABLE OFFENCE AND POLICE HAS TO WAIT FOR COMPLAINT.
3. lawyers can stop taking cases..as they encaraged unacaptble tradition ..when they are in need ..but .now blaming male part....but not.
BUT LAWYERS TAKE CASES OF EITHER SIDE
4.judges can give punishment and give message to society ....even if you give dowry, you Will punish go under punishment might happen rare..may be not happen.
IN A CIVILISED SOCIETY JUDGES CANNOT ACT IN A WAY TODETER THE GENUINE VICTIMS FROM REPORTING A CRIME.
A man's pocket was picked in a Riyasat called Fancynagar. He caught pickpocket and handed ove rth the police. Police immediately arrested the theief and complainant so that he doee run away
Why........? because police knew they will not prove the charge and the complainant has to be available to face criminal case of false reporting.
