This appears to be rare case because suicide cases mostly dumped in dustbin. In this case the police and prosecutor took up the matter in a proper manner at the court and made sure the husband of the girl who committed suicide, his mother and father were proved that they were torturing the girl to bring more dowry from her parents. This caused this girl to take the extreme step to end her life. At least there would be 1-2 news married girls committing suicide in dailies. very very few cases are closed were victims get punished but most of the victims. I mean the husband, in laws escape from punishment because of improper evidence to prove that there are guilty. My agony is that although committed suicide herself she did it as she was forced by 3 people with whom she had been living in a single house. Her husband failed in his responsibility of taking care of his wife and instead he tortured her unendingly. Really gradually he murdered her. So it is unfair for the court to give him 10 years prison sentence and 3 years for his parents. It appears that they arranged this marriage for their son just to pluck money and other items in the name of “dowry”. To me I would have been happier if he were given life sentence and 10 years for his parents. I feel that the punishment should be severe enough for those who provoke someone to commit suicide so that the number of suicide cases to get reduced specially of married women.

This is so sad... thankfully they found the reason for her doing this to herself... Hopefully they will realize what they have done... not only to herself but to everyone that loved her.. besides them I pray there were no children involved. They do not have to live with out her... and be raised by these people that caused her so much pain.

That is a rare thing. I know it's TV, but did you see the Law and Order episode where the mother basically rigged a bomb to their car with all four of her kids in it and tried to kill herself and all of them, but it turns out she only killed the three youngest ones because her oldest in the front seat was messing with the windows when the bomb went off? Well, she was basically all but brainwashed by her husband and such and she felt her parental skills were not up to snuff, and she felt she'd be a better mother in heaven. Well, she got to go to prison for no less then 25 years for this, and her husband got to practically walk because he committed no crime, according to the police chief. Now that I think about it, L&O IS based on true stories, so this really DID happen. How nice.

That is such a terrible thing to happen when culture has already dictated to society what this poor lady decided to do with his life. I think this kind of culture making women pay dowry should now be abolished as this further degrades the women in society.
