Dowry

India’s judicial system is one of the oldest and most respected in the world, but individuals—particularly women—often face grave challenges when subjected to dowry harassment or dowry-related offences. Despite being prohibited under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 and punishable under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), dowry demands and harassment continue to cause emotional, physical, and financial trauma to victims and their families.

Dowry cases may involve cruelty, mental or physical harassment, unlawful demands, and in extreme situations, even threats to life. The law provides victims the right to seek criminal action against the perpetrators, along with remedies for protection, maintenance, and custody where applicable. Timely legal action is essential to ensure safety and justice.
