In a significant ruling, the Allahabad High Court ruled that demanding money from in-laws for business purposes does not qualify as dowry.

The Kasarwadavli police on Wednesday registered a case for dowry death under the Indian Penal Code against victim's husband Nikhil, his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, the official added.

The court had stated that he had failed to prove the allegations of cruelty by the wife.

While considering requests made by a man and his family contesting criminal charges brought against him by his estranged wife, the high court made some pointed observations.

Father-Son raped his 22-year-old woman and subsequently set her ablaze in UP's Ballia over dowry.
