The offence of dowry death under Section 80 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 is committed where the death of a woman is caused by any burns or bodily injury or occurs otherwise than under normal circumstances within
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 80 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 304B IPC) requires an abnormal death within seven years of marriage and dowry-related cruelty or harassment by the husband or his relative soon before death. Both the dowry connection and the temporal link soon before death matter. The alternatives giving ten years, omitting dowry, or omitting soon therefore fail to reproduce the full rule.
