Dowry Case Law
Dowry
Property or valuable security given or agreed to be given, directly or indirectly, in connection with a marriage — the demand or giving of which is legally prohibited.
The law prohibits both the giving and taking of dowry, treating it as a punishable offence, distinct from voluntary gifts given without any demand or connection to the marriage as a condition.
Dowry-related harassment frequently forms the basis of criminal complaints for cruelty, and, in the gravest cases, is linked to dowry death prosecutions.
