Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 117 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 113A of the Indian Evidence Act) requires that the suicide occurred within seven years of marriage, not after seven years, and that "her husband and his relatives subjected her to cruelty.", so only the requirement of cruelty is correctly framed.
