India’s Supreme Court yesterday ruled that customary payments by the bride’s family to the groom’s family cannot be categorized as ‘dowry’. That decision means a groom’s family that harasses their daughter-in-law and threatens her etc etc cannot and will not face dowry charges. The keyword, according to the Supreme Court, is, ‘customary payments’.

Indiatime is shocked by the Supreme Court decision and lists other ‘customs’ or ‘customary payments’ that can be overlooked under this decision.
