BSB 2023: Chapter VII: Section 117

Presumption as to abetment of suicide by a married woman.

When the question is whether the commission of suicide by a woman had been abetted by her husband or any relative of her husband and it is shown that she had committed suicide within a period of seven years from the date of her marriage and that her husband or such relative of her husband had subjected her to cruelty, the court may presume, having regard to all the other circumstances of the case, that such suicide had been abetted by her husband or by such relative of her husband.
Explanation.—For the purposes of this section, "cruelty" shall have the same meaning as in section 84 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

Hindi Translation

जब सवाल यह हो कि क्या किसी महिला को आत्महत्या के लिए उसके पति या उसके पति के किसी रिश्तेदार ने उकसाया था और यह दिखाया गया है कि उसने अपनी शादी की तारीख से सात साल की अवधि के भीतर आत्महत्या की थी और कि उसके पति या उसके पति के ऐसे रिश्तेदार ने उसके साथ क्रूरता की थी, अदालत मामले की अन्य सभी परिस्थितियों को ध्यान में रखते हुए यह मान सकती है कि ऐसी आत्महत्या को उसके पति या उसके पति के ऐसे रिश्तेदार द्वारा उकसाया गया था।
स्पष्टीकरण.—इस खंड के प्रयोजनों के लिए, "क्रूरता" का वही अर्थ होगा जो भारतीय न्याय संहिता, 2023 की धारा 84 में है।
