A suit for recovery of dower made by a Muslim wife against her husband is attracted by the provisions…

Section 29(3) of the Limitation Act provides that, save as otherwise provided in any law relating to marriage and divorce, nothing in the Act applies to any suit or proceeding under such law. Unlike the 1908 Act, the 1963 Act has no article for dower, and the Allahabad High Court has held that a Muslim wife's suit for dower falls within this saving, so the relevant provision is "Section 29(3)". Section 29(1) saves the Indian Contract Act, and section 29(2) deals with special or local laws prescribing different periods.
