What is Dowry?
A significant number of cases reveal a trend that large demands of dowry are made at the time of and repeatedly after marriage as well. Any refusal to provide Dowry causes harassment and physical abuse of the wife. The wife either stays on to face such abuse as she sees no future outside and is insecure, or actually does leave the matrimonial home to escape it. In the latter case, the husband and his family refuse to return the dowry and the wife’s stridhan which is her legal entitlement.. It is left to the wife to pursue it’s recovery from India.
Deliverables
Section 105 of the Code of Criminal Procedure states that the Central Government should make reciprocal arrangements with foreign governments for the service of summons/warrants/judicial processes. Accordingly, the Ministry of Home Affairs has entered into Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty/Agreement (hereinafter “MLAT”) with 22 countries providing for the serving of documents, whereby these countries are legally bound to serve the documents.11 In other cases the Ministry makes a request based on an assurance of reciprocity to the concerned foreign government through their mission/embassy. However, this casts no legally binding obligation upon them to consider the request.
