Answer #2

There is no specific provision in law that allows a wife or father in law to claim expenses incurred on marriage. if your wife files a case for recovery of expenses incurred on marriage she would have to prove the amount spent which can also be contested by you. filing complaints for dowry harassment as become the norm for a wife these days and can again be contested in court.
