The Allahabad High Court recently said that maintaining a list of gifts received by the bride or bridegroom at the time of marriage as prescribed under Section 3(2) of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, is important to prevent false allegations of dowry at the time of subsequent disputes. The high court observed that the legislature has carefully exempted the gifts the bride or bridegroom received at the time of marriage from the definition of "dowry" under the Act. The court further said that to avail of such an exemption, it is important and necessary for the bride and the bridegroom to maintain the list of gifts received in accordance with the Rules. "The maintenance of the list is also important so that both the parties to the marriage and their family members may not level false allegation of taking dowry or giving dowry in a marriage subsequently," Justice Vikram D Chauhan said. Married Muslim Man Has No Right to Be in Live-in Relationship: Allahabad High Court.
