Which of the following Sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 is related to 'dowry death'?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 80 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 304B IPC) creates dowry death where the required unnatural death within seven years of marriage and soon-before-death dowry-related cruelty/harassment are proved. Section 105 BNS prescribes punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Sections 117 and 118 are the numbers of the presumptions as to abetment of suicide by a married woman and as to dowry death in the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023; they are evidentiary presumptions, not the BNS dowry-death offence.
