Don't marry. Future of such matrimony is uncertain. Unless marriage takes place Case under,S. 498A cannot be filed. Only Dowry Prohibition Act can be used in which offence is bailable. If comes it will have to be countered by counter cases, but don't get pressurised to compromise your son's future.
