Supreme Court Quashes Dowry Death Case; Delhi HC Urges Family Support in Marital Disputes
The Supreme Court quashed a dowry death case against a husband whose wife died by suicide in Toronto, ruling that calling her 'stupid' and 'useless' does not constitute cruelty or criminal intimidation without evidence of harassment. The court emphasized that temperamental issues between spouses should not be criminalized without proof. Separately, the Delhi High Court highlighted the importance of family support for women facing marital violence, cautioning against implicating in-laws without clear evidence and urging families to provide safe refuge to daughters in troubled marriages.
