Hi!
I would like to submit that even if U have not demanded any dowry from the lady however I would like to clarify that filing a complaint by you can only be considered as precautionary step and you can only use it for court purposes but you cannot file a case only on basis off your complaint. So far as the creating a list of stridhan articles, it can very well be considered as GIFT which a lady has received from her family, friends and relatives. Hope it would suffice.

Simply giving list of article without supporting documents leads to no where.Crme against women cell will try to settle the matter by either couple aggre to live together or divorce by mutual Consent.
Supreme Court has clipped the power of Police Officer in Arunesh Kumar vs State of Bihar.
However gear up for series of cases like Domestic Violence complaint and so on so forth.

You please note that stri dhan does not amount to dowry. Stri dhan are gifts given by the family of your wife and also from her in-laws. When any person demands something forcefully and compel her or her parents to give some thing that's called dowry.
