Dear Ajin,

First of all giving and taking dowry is an offence as per dowry prohibatin act and hence in this circumstances, it will not work out.

yes u can.

but the court will ask u the source from where u had given the dowry, rightly said by Mr. Patil both giving and acceptance of dowry is an offence.

under what circumstances she died? is a relevant questions.

the gifts given to the relatives and shagun etc. u ll not be able to claim as per the latest SC judgment.

pls refer to Tarsem Singh v/s State of Punjab Criminal Appeal No. 476 of 2005 decided by SC on 12/12/2008

Recovery in legal way can be done if the dues to be recovered arise out of legal transaction. This is the general law.
