Let me make my question clear. i have not married for money or anythin else. But love. Here in india, women are empowered with the dowry law which is misused to make the hubby fall on his knees to do the bidding of the wife or else a false case of dowry is shoved on the innocent husband, whenever differences creep in between the relationship. This happens in India.

I agree with you that there is no legislation against filling a false criminal case against the husband & his family for the offence of dowry, but the Supreme Court has held in its very recent judgments in few cases that such false complaint against the husband amounts to mental cruelty on the basis of which the husband can be granted decree of divorce. This principle has been applied by many High courts too specially the Delhi High Court where the aggrieved husband was granted divorce on the basis of the wrong criminal complaints made against him under the Prohibition of dowry Act & section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. Hence now the law is very clear in such cases where wife or her relatives indulge in filling wrong or false criminal complaints against the husband & his parents just to harass them.
