Question
When does the presumption under Section 113B (dowry death) arise? Â
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.Â
