The law was introduced in 1983 after a spate of dowry deaths in Delhi and elsewhere in the country. There were daily reports of brides being burnt to death by their husbands and in-laws and the murders were often passed off as "kitchen accidents". Angry protests by female MPs and activists forced parliament to bring in the law.

Whatever adjustment needs to be made it clearly shouldn’t involve repealing these protections. Litigious bullying surely doesn’t surpass burning women because they didn’t give your family enough money when you married them.

Hah if you don't know any Indians, you wouldn't fucking believe how much of their family drama is based on dowry issues

Indian culture still has a lot of catching up to do.

One thing no one mentions about is about the Judges. On cases like these, judges are overly biased and don’t verify facts and be fair.
