The demand for money is not even alleged to be made as a consideration of the marriage. Neither money nor any other property can be said to be dowry unless they satisfy the definition of dowry as under the Act. The language of Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act,1980 is clear and unambiguous, which suggests that the demand of dowry should be made to the parent or guardians of the bride or bridegroom, as the case may be, to bring a person under the dragnet of Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act,1980.
