Misuse of dowry law lands woman, relatives in trouble

Attempts by a woman and her relatives to implicate her husband in a false dowry and maintenance case landed them in their own net.

According to CSP Hemant Tiwari, Ashish, an engineer, of Shivpuri got married to Nidhi of Gwalior a few years ago. But their relationship got estranged within a few months and the couple got separated. Later, Nidhi and her relatives slapped a dowry and domestic violence case against Ashish, alleging that he had taken several lakhs of rupees in dowry and forcibly kept her jewellery.
In order to make the case strong, Nidhi and her relatives obtained a false marriage certificate from the Municipal Corporation and submitted it in the court. On hearing about it Ashish made enquiries through RTI and found out that the marriage certificate is a bogus one.

Harassed Ashish filed a retaliatory complaint with the police against Nidhi and her relatives. A case has also been registered against the Notary and the stamp vendor who sold the stamp paper. During enquiry, the police found that the vendor had made no entry in the register about the sale of the stamp paper.
Conceding that many women were misusing dowry laws to settle scores with their husbands, the Supreme Court had earlier laid down certain guidelines for the Police to be followed during investigations in dowry related complaints and harassments.
