    Abstract:
    The practice of dowry was one of the practices that was commonly used in our culture in India, a country where rituals and customs may have a significant societal impact. This application was at first seen as a godsend, but when the women fell victim to their husbands' and his family's greed, it took a bad turn and turned into a burden for society. Additionally, this application was used as an excuse to harass the women and treat them cruelly on top of physically harming them. Thus, the Government of India added Section 498A to the IPC by the Change Act 1983 in order to safeguard girls[1]. However, in the current state of circumstances, there are instances where women abuse Section 498A of the IPC and other legal provisions like the dowry prohibition act. through the initiation of a lawsuit against her spouse and her in-laws and the discovery of the advantages of the support payment and other compensation.
