Dowry / loan

Dear sir,

I have a question, FIL was given some amount for the purpose of buisness (purchasing of machines) after the marriage of 1 year without any proof (no recipt) . After 2 years the same amount was returned by me without proof, no paper recipt , no bank entry. Now wife has registered a case for 498a and she shows that amount for a dowry.

I heard that amount given for a purpose of buisness after 6 month is not considered as dowry. Since I have not any proof for returning the amount. I

Is it correct?

What should I do. Kindly suggest.

Thanking you in advance.

Roy

if you have any proof of giving like cheque or drawn from bank to give to your FIL

as how he gave cash or cheque try to see any document you will find if not show the purchase of machines bill to show that you had taken hand loan from your FIL and paid back to him on words

then even they to not having any proof to show that you accepted cash (when ever it may be)

before that you show that you had taken loan from your friends to buy the machinery for your business who can given loan prepare documents

you are3 advised "before that you show that you had taken loan from your friends to buy the machinery for your business who can given loan prepare documents "

then be ready to bring your firnds as witnesses who should be harned liars who should sustain cross-examination.
