Yes. For demanding dowry, directly or indirectly, the punishment is imprisonment for a minimum six months or maximum two years and a fine up to Rs.10,000. If there are adequate and special reasons, which the court must record in the judgement, the period of imprisonment may be reduced to below six months.
