Dear Client, It's just a shagun, so that will not be considered as a demand of dowery further if you take other things then it's might be possible and if you seek some other clarification then explain the facts of the case properly.

Pooja as for the Hindu ritualism is considered sacred in Pious and immaculate somebody using you dowry in that regard is extremely heineous offence in its own right I'm pretty sure that you wife and his kith and kin and family relatives will bear the brunt if there do something redundant or even say something unwanted inneeded for exact queries and consultancy you may contact me
