Discussion
You are a police officer. A man complains that he has paid dowry to the in-laws of his daughter and that she is a victim of domestic violence. What will you do?
Answer: C
The keyed response is to investigate and arrest the in-laws if deemed necessary, and frame charges against the man for paying dowry.
Under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, both giving and taking dowry are offences. The complaint of domestic violence must be investigated and acted on, but the complainant has also admitted to paying dowry, which a police officer cannot overlook.
Arresting the in-laws right away skips the investigation. Investigating the in-laws alone ignores the father's own offence. Counselling him to negotiate with the in-laws abandons the victim of domestic violence.
