My fiancé and I, from different backgrounds, are getting married on May 8th. He’s from Allahabad, I’m Bengali from Kolkata. His family is creating problems, claiming dowry as an excuse to disown the wedding. He’s willing to cut ties with them and marry me with my father’s blessings. We’ve known each other for 10 years, but now I’m worried. What if his family tries to harass me later, even though I won’t live with them? I’m lost, not knowing what to do.

Under Indian law, demanding dowry is illegal and punishable. You can file a complaint with the police if his family harasses you or your family. It’s wise to consult a lawyer to understand your legal options and ensure your safety and your fiancé’s well-being.
