If a pregnant woman faces dowry harassment, what legal measures can she pursue?
If a pregnant woman experiences dowry harassment, she can pursue legal measures by filing a complaint under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for cruelty and harassment against her husband or in-laws. The legal procedures involve lodging a First Information Report (FIR) with the police, providing medical reports documenting the impact of harassment on her pregnancy, and presenting evidence during court proceedings. Seeking immediate legal assistance is crucial to ensure the protection of her rights and the well-being of both herself and her unborn child.
