Dowry demands can also continue ___.

Answer 1

Answer:

Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961

THE DOWRY PROHIBITION ACT, 1961, (Act No. 28 of 1961)

(20th May, 1961). And the researchers found that a groom's family spends on average about 5,000 rupees ($67; £48) in real terms in gifts to the bride's family. The gifts from the bride's family, unsurprisingly, cost seven times more at about 32,000 rupees ($429). This implied an average real net dowry of 27,000 rupees ($361).
