The \u201cno dowry declaration\u201d has to be signed by the employee&#8217;s wife, father and father-in-law.

This report is to be submitted to the District Dowry Prohibition Officer (District Women and Child Development Officer) of the concerned district. The District Officer will then submit a report of the departments that have not furnished the declarations before April 15 and October 15 every year. This procedure has been stated as mandatory under the Act and the Rules, according to the circular.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Kerala government has also declared November 26 as Dowry Prohibition Day in Kerala, wherein all students in high schools, higher secondary and vocational higher secondary schools, colleges, and other educational institutions in the state will take a
