The bride's family cannot force you to pay dowry. Dowry demands are illegal under the Dowry Prohibition Act. You should refuse to pay and, if necessary, file a complaint with the police. Document all threats for evidence, and consult a lawyer for protection against any legal action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
