Sunil v. State Govt. NCT of Delhi - (High Court of Delhi) (13 Aug 2015)

Cause and reason are immaterial in determining if demand made in nexus of marriage is for dowry

MANU/DE/2299/2015

Criminal

Any demand for property or a valuable security, directly or indirectly, that has nexus with marriage would constitute a demand of dowry, regardless of the cause or reason for the demand. The Court held that the money given by the deceased's father to the Appellant, used for opening a shop, was provided only because a relationship was established between the Appellant and his deceased-wife.
