Yes, Close relatives are not debarred from being witnesses in the Court of law.
Therefore, the close relatives (father, mother, brother, maternal uncle) as well as the other witnesses (the doctor and the I.O.) are competent to testify and can appear as witnesses in the case.
You should consult an expert to help you in this regard.
For filing a case of dowry you have to lodge a complaint against your husband and in-laws in the local police station.
The lawyer will assist you in drafting the comprehensive complaint and will ensure that the ingredients of provisions are being fulfilled.
Based on this complaint the lawyer will file a criminal case of dowry as well as file for divorce on the grounds of dowry harassment.
Hence, filing of complaint with police or women cell is essential.
