[h=1]'Money demanded by man for business will not come under dowry'[/h]
The Madras High Court today ruled that money demanded by a man from his in-laws for doing business does not come under the category of 'dowry'.
Disposing of a petition filed by the man's family against a complaint of dowry harassment, Justice C T Selvam of the Madurai bench said money demanded by a person from his wife and in-laws for investing in business cannot be construed as dowry demand and tried under Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961.
He said it was necessary for a complainant to prove that money was demanded only as dowry.
