I’ve been in a relationship for six years, but I’m still completing my studies in Gurgaon. We belong to the same caste, but the girl’s family is pressuring her for dowry. She wants to marry me, and I want to marry her, but I want to be settled first. We told our families about the relationship, and now the girl’s family is making her life difficult. Her mother constantly torments her, won’t let her study, and creates a tense environment at home. What can we do? I’m ready to marry her once I’m settled, but they’re pushing for a wedding now.

Under Indian law, demanding dowry is illegal and punishable. You can report the harassment to the police and seek legal assistance. The girl’s family’s actions are unlawful and create a hostile environment, which can be grounds for seeking legal intervention.
