Hi Priyanka,

I would recommend to weigh the Pros and Cons of the situation.

Let's say you file some case or the other, then do you think they will stop speaking about you? In turn they may speak even more. Added to this you would ascertain their claims about you.

You are better off than many others who happen to experience these things after marriage. Since it's only engagement, just break the alliance and move on.

If you have any proof etc., then defamation and other cases can be filed.

But filing cases, will be waste of your time and money.

Stay away from them and as the saying goes "out of sight is out of mind" it will gradually fade off.

If they had lied or hidden the fact of his divorce, then you can file a cheating/fraud case against them.

As such if you are so bent upon filing a complaint, then you can still file the complaint at the police station under section 420 of IPC wherein they will be called to the police station and you will have to go as well and then you can clearly warn them before withdrawing the case.

Alternatively, go to women's police station and then file this case. Basically, your intention should be to warn them strictly and not filing the case to punish them. This way you will be able to warn them as well as not waste your time and money on cases.

Mam file a case for cheating and breach of trust and under section 3 and 4 dowry act for demanding dowry as Supreme Court has clearly pointed out that the demand of dowry before marriage is also punishable. The police will file complaint and call them for counseling if they are ready to apologise and return amount spend wothdraw complaint and move ahead with your life if not persue legal action.

Mam there is no such law for recovery of money directly but filing a complaint as by way suggested you can surely recover the money you spent.

File case of dowry harassment against the boy , his parents and his sisters under section 498A of IPC

2) mention that they broke engagement as you refused to fulfill their demands for dowry

You can sue the boy and his family for damages

Claim the money spent by you on Roka, engagement etc

Hello Priyanka,

Yes you will get all your money, file a complain of cheating and dowry demand against these people and ask for refund of all the monies spent. In case FIR is not registered file a complaint directly to the magistrate.

Best of luck

1)Taking or giving of a dowry is also a crime and punishable on both the parties.

2)In case of a dowry demand, immediately report to the nearest police station under the jurisdiction of the place where the said demand is made .

3)Try to get as many evidence as you can, like maybe audio-video recordings, witnesses

4)You can report the matter to a judicial Magistrate/ Metropolitan Magistrate by making an application under section 156(3) read with section 190 of Code of Criminal Procedure, if the police does not register the same.

5)You can also report the matter to the Dowry Protection Officer. You can know about the DPO of your area by contacting the family court of your district.

Approach the Police Station (women's police station preferably) and give a dowry case, cheating and fraud case. You will need photos of your engagement. If they have asked you dowry directly then it is stronger. So mention all this in the complaint.

Advantage of approaching Police is that if the case is registered, then you don't have to spend any amount on the lawyer or on the case. Also, the pressure of criminal complaint is high on the husband side. They will approach you to settle the case and you can then take the amount you have spent.

This is all rubbish you just move on in your life forget everything which have been happened.

It will not be a good idea go ahead in this marriage by spending this much of money at least you know that what kind of people they are.

Hello,

Send a legal notice to them and claim the amount that has been spent by you on Roka and also claim compensation for the harassment

Call off the engagement, if they do not respond to the notice then file a case against them for dowry, harassment and criminal intimidation.

Regards

Dear client,

No litigation cost involve in your case, just file criminal complain of cheating and dowry demand that when they found that their demand did not met , they cancelled the marriage.

police case is enough.file FIR.
