Recovery of dowry Recovery of dowry

2 years ago

Can we file a police complaint to claim dowry if the inlaws refused to return it? But the divorce/domestic violence case is still in court but there is no hearings going on due to COVID. So can we file a police complaint to recover the items if the case is already in district court?
