A woman who allegedly attempted to implicate her husband in a dowry case, has herself been booked after a magisterial court directed the police to register an FIR against the woman and her family for giving dowry.

in-laws, who had accused him of demanding dowry prior to and after marriage. .The SHO of the concerned police station is directed to register FIR as per the law and ensure the matter is properly investigated., said Judicial Magistrate, Gautam Budh Nagar in Noida.
In the petition filed through his counsel Pradeep Nawani, Manish had alleged that his wife, who had estranged him within six months of their marriage, had tried to implicate him in a false case and that the list of dowry articles was forged and fabricated. Pleading before the court, Nawani submitted that Pratibha had illegitimately been demanding for brand new car from her husband and also threatened to implicate him in false case of dowry if the demand was not fulfilled. He further alleged that the petitioner was also threatened by his in-laws when he went to them to know the whereabouts of his wife.

Earlier, the woman had approached the Crime Against Women (CAW) cell of Delhi police alleging that her husband his family had been demanding dowry even after marriage.

The petitioner Manish Kumar and his wife Pratibha, both software engineers, got married in December 2004, and had been living together in Noida. The petitioner said that the dispute between them arose because of the excessive parental interference, which prompted her to leave him.
