The Dowry Prohibition (Bihar Amendment) (Repeal) Act, 2018

Criminal20184 sections

This Act officially removes the Dowry Prohibition (Bihar Amendment) Act of 1975 from the law books. It applies to the entire state of Bihar and restores the original Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 by deleting the specific amendment that was previously added. The law ensures that any legal proceedings or actions already started under the repealed amendment will not be affected by this change. This matters because it simplifies the legal landscape regarding dowry prohibition in Bihar, reverting to the standard national framework without the specific 1975 amendment.
