Sister, harassed for dowry.

dipankar (Querist) 25 July 2011 This query is : Resolved
Dear experts,we are muslim by caste.My maternal sister who has been married for the last three years is being seriously harassed by her in-laws for Dowry.They rebuke her, badmouth her always. Recently they have resorted to beating her and her husband black and blue for no reasons whatsoever. Her husband is on my sisters side. She has even tried to complain in police but the callous policemen did not lodge any FIR as my in-laws bribed them also.
Please guide under what sections of IPC my sister can lodge a case against her inlaws for harassing her,badmouthing her and beating her. So that they can be brought to justice.

section 406, 498A, 323 etc of IPC.
Domestic Violence Act is also applicable against them.

Yes the above said sections are made out for your sister's case. But my suggestion is just appoint an advocate for your case. He will take care of you.
