nportance of 7 years period in dowry case
some
of people think that after 7 years of marriage husband and in-laws are
safe from the case of dowry but it is not correct because they can be
prosecuted under section 498-A I.P. C and under prevention of Women
from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and period of seven years is only for
dowry death as if any lady died in UN-natural death and she was
subjected to cruelty or harassment for demand of dowry then it will be
presumed that her death was dowry death and burden of prof will lie
upon accused persons but after 7 years if she died and it was alleged
that she was kill by her in-laws then burden of proof lie upon
prosecution .
