My wife, after just a month of marriage, accused me and my parents of demanding dowry. This came as a shock as she was diagnosed with several health issues after a simple blood test following our marriage. We had requested her family to get a comprehensive health check-up before marriage, but they refused. Now, they’ve filed a false complaint at the Mahila Thana. Is it possible for a lawyer to represent me and my parents in this situation? Can I also file a complaint against my wife and her family due to her concealed health conditions? What other options do I have to deal with this difficult situation?
