The Allahabad High Court recently drew attention to a seeming disregard for a regulation outlined in the Dowry Prohibition (Maintenance of Lists of Presents to the Bride and Bridegroom) Rules, 1985. This rule mandates couples to maintain a list of wedding gifts they receive, as highlighted in the case of Ankit Singh And 3 Others v. State of UP and Another. Justice Vikram D Chauhan observed that parties involved in cases alleging dowry demands were failing to submit such lists with their petitions.
The single-judge emphasized the need for strict adherence to Section 3(2) of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, to prevent citizens from becoming embroiled in baseless legal disputes.
