You are confused with the two issues - dowry and maintenance; Assuming you have returned her dowry, she is still entitled to maintenance. You should try for an amicable out of court settlement.
contact a local lawyer with full details
in case she is asking for maintenance, you need to provide her with the maintenance for herself and her child. before the court passes any adverse order against you, you better hire a lawyer and file reply.
