Question

If any married woman commits suicide within a period of 10 years from the date of her marriage:

A.

The presumption is that suicide was abetted by her husband.

B.

The presumption is that suicide was abetted by the relative of her husband.

C.

There is no presumption as to abetment by the husband or his relative.

D.

None of these.

Correct option is C


Under Section 117 of BSA, if a married woman commits suicide within 7 years of marriage and it is shown that she was subjected to cruelty by her husband or his relatives, the court presumes the husband or relatives abetted the suicide. However, the question refers to 10 years, where there is no such statutory presumption. Therefore, the absence of a presumption makes (c) the correct choice.
