In a marriage where a woman faces constant emotional abuse and harassment for not meeting dowry demands, what legal measures are available to her?
If a woman is experiencing constant emotional abuse and harassment due to dowry demands in her marriage, she can pursue legal action under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, and may file a complaint under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code for cruelty. The legal process involves lodging a First Information Report (FIR) with the police, followed by an investigation, court hearings, and presenting evidence to support the charges against the accused parties. Additionally, she can explore obtaining protection orders to ensure her safety during the legal proceedings.
