PLegal Advice – Go to the jurisdictional police station, give a statement to the police (detailing all that you know). They will register a case under POCSO Act. If they don’t act immediately, go to Police Superintendent or Commissioner and complain about it. Do not delete the photos or messages until the disposal of the case. Even if your niece has willingly participated in the acts, she is a minor and will be considered as a victim.
Your niece needs counselling to come out of this. This will be very hard for her as she wouldn’t understand anything at this stage. Find a good counsellor and start the therapy.

PFrom what you have stated, it seems to be a demand made very covertly. The marriage has to take place with open discussions and mutual respect & understanding. When you both are from different communities, there must be open talks about the ceremonies and traditional/ ritual gifting that is needed. If any demand is made more than that it does amount to Dowry. read further [https://divorcebylaw.com/dowry/](https://divorcebylaw.com/dowry/)The progressive thought on this is to share the expenses equally or another step further do not take money from your parents, limit your expenses to your (you & fiancé`) savings only. The marriage need not be about having a grand ceremony, it is about two people coming together in love.

P1. You can file a petition seeking custody of your daughter. Assuming you are Hindu, it will be a G & W C case filed in the same Family Court where your Divorce case is pending. You can ask for sole custody if your wife is unable to provide the best for your child. You can also claim for joint custody, if both of you are staying in the same area and are able to provide a healthy environment to the child.2. For your ongoing Domestic Violence and Dowry Harassment cases, it is advantageous in the Child custody case if it is not going against you. If the claims are not genuine and due to that if your wife is unable to show the evidence file for quashing the FIR.
3. Meantime, in the divorce case itself or in G&WC case as an interlocutory application you can seek visitation rights.

PThe court as a general practice gives sufficient time for both the parties. So far everything is going in your favor.Ask your lawyer to advance the date instead of waiting for 2 months. A notice will be given to the opposite party to appear on the requested date.
On the next date, if the opposite party doesn’t show up, ask your lawyer to make a submission that the opposite party party has been given enough time to present the documents and request to close the stage. If the judge accepts that your case will move forward.
Even if they show up and submit the documents, your lawyer will ask some time to go through the documents.
