Ueven if jwellery is sold off, the amount of jewellery will be legally recourable though court order.Uyou are incorrect, The woman and her family can’t be subjected to prosecution for giving dowry even though giving dowry is an offence.UADVOCATE AKASH VARSHNEY HERE, THIS IS MY ADVICE FOR YOU.
1. DORWNY PROHIBITION ACT 1961 defines dowry under Section 2 of the Act, the jwellery etc in your case amounts to dowry, Section 3 Provides that the penalty of taking dowry is punishable with imprisonment NOT LESS THAN 5 YEARS AND FINE NOT LESS THAN 15K OR THE AMOUNT OF DOWRY TAKEN ITSELF OR BOTH IMPRISONMENT AND FINE, Section 6 of the Act allows the woman and her family to legally claim property given in dowry and if the grooms family refuse to transfer the same that also is punishable with 6 Month to 2 year imprisonment or fine upto 10k or both, court can force the man and his family to return all property given in dowry . Section 7 PROTECTS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FROM PROSECUTION AGAINST GIVING DOWRY meaning that although giving dowry is also an offence yet THE MAN AND HIS FAMILY CANT SEND YOU TO JAIL. Section 8 makes the offence NON BAILABLE (BAIL WILL NOT BE EASY FOR THE MAN AND HIS FAMILY) NON COMPOUNDABLE (THERE CANT BE ANY COMPROMISE THEY HAVE TO PAY YOU MONEY AND GOT TO JAIL) AND COGNIZABLE (POLICE CAN INVESTIGATE MATTER UPON FIR WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM COURT.
2. PROTECTION OF WOMEN FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACT, 2006 defines DOMESTIC VIOLECE under section 3 and i have gone though it, in your case this is domestic violence, Section 4 of the act allows the Aggrieved woman (your sister or your family) to file case with Protection officer/police. Section 12 allows the Aggrieved person and family to seek following remedies from court Protection from inlaws (Section 18), Residence Order (Section 19), MONETARY RELIEF(Section 20), Compensation (Section 22). Please note that once a complaint with magistrate is filed by your advocate, there will be a hearing within 3 days and decision within 60 days by law.
3. The case here will include Attempt to commit Dowry Death under Section 304B IPC, Cruelty under Section 498A, Grevious Hurt etc.
4. Claim maintenance under Section 125 CrPC and ALL COST OF PROCEEDING OF HIRING AN ADVOCATE ETC.
5. Keep all evidence copy in several locations, like in your phone and the phone, laptop and pen drive of your family.
6. Ask me any question here.UDoing a welle with cycle is not an offence under any law at most then could say you committed public nuisance but that in reality would not stand in court. Contact an advocate next time before paying someone like thatUI dont think you should be worried about them, find a good excuse not to join and email them, if the terms state they will give the job to someone else in case of non joining then all seems good to me.UNo offense has been committed here, they fooled you to extort money, all other things like taking photos etc were to make it look legit which it wasn’t. Nothing to worry about here, I would rather suggest you not to do anything here, does not seem like any formal records are there as well. If they shared some case no. Or any thing of that sort then share here.UThe offences committed by him may include Criminal Intimidation, Defamation by IPC/BNS.
You can lodge an FIR under Section 154 CrPC in police station or call the woman helpline number or register a complaint on the cyber crime portal online. The last option is far better.UHave you accepted the offer formally on call, email or writing? If there is no acceptance by you then the same is not a contract and therefore not binding on you or them. Sharing the actual terms of contract with me here might help me help you better.UHi lawyer here, only sharing (by any means) of nude images of a woman without her consent amounts to the offence of voyeurism under IPC/BNS. Here, since she shared with you photos with her consent, No offence has been committed. Please note that consent for sex is 18 years of both male and female so that the act dors not amount to rape, but the law does not prescribe any such age for sharing nudes with consent.
