Dowry System in Nepal 2082/83 (2026) — Law & Penalties

"The dowry system in Nepal is unlawful — the Social Practices (Reform) Act 2033 (1976) bans tilak and caps daijo, and Section 174 of the National Penal Code 2074 criminalises demanding or harassing for dowry (up to 5 years and NPR 50,000). This 2026 guide explains the statutes, the penalties, how dowry-related violence is treated under the Domestic Violence Act 2066, and the enforcement reality."
