Legal Question in Family Law in India
DEAR GURUS,
Kindly suggest me on whether I can possibly file A DP3 Complaint against my estranged wife and her father for giving dowry , the estranged wife has asked for return of 35,000 /- given as dowry in Form 2 -application to the magistrate under pwdva.
( PLEASE NOTE-IT IS NOT ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY I AM TRYING TO SAVE , IT IS MY SELF-RESPECT & HONOUR THAT I AM TRYING TO PROTECT .)

Accepting dowry is also illegal at the same time. Against whom you want to lodge the complaint? Were you forcibly made to accept the dowry? If yes, then why did not file the complaint at that time, why at this stage?
As such the answer to your query is "no".
