Dear client, either taking or giving dowry is a crime, So u should not claim for dowrry but Ur sister can file a petition in the family Court for her monthly maintenance, Court will award an amt based on your brother-in-law's earnings P.M. You should have to prove that Along with maintenance u can file a petition for Restitution of conjugal Rights. If he is not interested take back Ur sister, He may return back the dowry AMT and other expenses and maintenance charges also.
