    When does the presumption under Section 113B (dowry

    death) arise?  
    A If unnatural death occurs within 7 years of marriage and cruelty is shown Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B In every case of suicide Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C In cases of divorce Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D When woman complains to police Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only after postmortem Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 113B provides a presumption of dowry death when a woman dies under unnatural circumstances within 7 years of marriage, and there is evidence of cruelty or harassment related to dowry by her husband or in-laws. This shifts the burden of proof to the accused. The presumption is rebuttable and intended to tackle dowry-related violence. Option A is correct as it accurately states the triggering conditions required for this legal presumption to apply.
