Dowry case

The woman hanged herself at home in October 2021, leading to her death. During the investigation, her parents disclosed that her husband and in-laws had been harassing her for dowry.

In a landmark decision, the Allahabad High Court has issued directives aimed at fortifying the implementation of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

According to Dr. Shahana's family, Dr. Ruwais' family allegedly sought a dowry of 150 gold sovereigns, 15 acres of property, and a BMW automobile.

It is alleged that the refusal was linked to her family's inability to fulfill dowry demands.
