Nadia: A girl was forced to return to her parents' house a day after she was married for refusing to pay extra dowry at a village in West Bengal's Nadia district.
Samir De, the husband, and his father were arrested from their house at Nashrapara village following a police complaint lodged by the girl, a day after the incident took place on Friday, and were produced in court on Sunday.
