Bombay High Court acquitted a husband and mother in a dowry death case, holding that a short-tempered wife’s suicide in a fit of anger did not constitute dowry death. The court said evidence failed to prove cruelty under law.
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court of India on Monday expressed deep concern over the continuing problem of dowry deaths, calling it a “grave social concern.” The court stressed that judges must carefully examine all details before granting bail in such cases, as the crime directly affects social justice and equality.
