Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Divorce and Dowry

I'm divorcing my wife. She was in love of another man during my whole marriage with her. She asked for divorce to let me go. She gave up everything. Now after filing for divorce, she's asking me to pay her dowry after I graduate from graduate school and getting job by monthly installment. She ahd desrespected me in public, talked down to me and I have sacrificed everything in my life for her. We got married in Iran according to Iranian Laws but now divorcing in USA. I'm wondering if she can sue me or get her dowry.

Re: Divorce and Dowry

I am unaware of any Indiana cases that have dealt with this situation. One question that I would have is whether Iranina law is secular or religous?

Was there a written agreement? Please rpeost with more details.
