This is one of the m

Dear client,
The payment of dowry has long been prohibited under specific Indian laws including the Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 approved by the Parliament of India and subsequently by Sections 304B and 498A of the Indian Penal Code.

As a legitimate daughter, she still therefore has a share in your mother's property
