You have think twice before taking any decision, analyse if you return to your matrimonial house, will the same tortures continue?, if so, what is that you are going to do after that, suppose you do not want to withdraw the complaint ad want to proceed with other cases also, you will be losing your precious future for which your parents struggled a lot, choice is yours, if you decide to not return to your matrimonial home then go ahead with all the cases including false cases against your husband, his parents, sisters, brothers sisters in law, brothers in law etc., but what will be the fate of your child in your womb after that? so, see if you can compromise on certain issues and start living amicably or decide about quitting the married life.

If you are good educated and capable of getting employment, I advise you not to return to matrimonial home and pursue your S.498 A and DV cases vigorously and take good legal advice so that those culprits will be punished. It has become a trend in India to kill the girl child in embryo, torture the newly married bride for dowry and forcing the hapless parents of the girls to conduct the marriage in ostentatious manner spending lakhs of rupees. When women will be highly educated and get good jobs and empowered themselves, we can come out of this scourge of dowry, dowry harassment and dowry deaths.
