The correct answer is B.

Section 5 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 explicitly states: “Any agreement for the giving or taking of dowry shall be void.”

This provision renders any contract or agreement related to giving or taking dowry legally null and void from the beginning, regardless of the parties involved or conditions attached. This makes options A, C, and D incorrect.
