• What are the criminal offences related to marriage?

Offences related to marriage include cruelty by husband or his relatives, bigamy i.e., contracting second marriage while the first marriage still persists and dowry death.

• Cruelty by Husband or his Relatives [Section 498A]

A separate dedicated chapter has been mentioned under IPC dealing with the issues of cruelty by a husband or his relatives under Section 498A.  The main purpose behind adding this provision in the statute books was to punish the husband and his relative who ill-treat the woman and force her to meet any untoward demands. It provides matrimonial relief to the wife who is harassed at the hands of her husband and his relatives. Not all types of cruelty attract the purview of this section.  The punishment for this offence is imprisonment for a term up to 3 years or fine or both.

The ingredients of this offence include-

• Firstly, the complainant must be a married woman/widow.
• Secondly, she must have faced cruelty at the hands of her husband or his relatives.
• Cruelty consists of – use of force or coercion to meet the demands of dowry; or a wilful/intentional conduct of the husband or his relatives that is likely to lead the wife to commit a suicide or cause hurt to her life, limbs or health.
• Cruelty can be both mental or physical

• Bigamy [Section 499]

Bigamy is a punishable offence under IPC. Bigamy means contracting a second marriage while the first marriage still persists. This means that without divorcing the first husband/wife, getting married to somebody else. This is not applicable to Muslims as in their religion polygamy is allowed.

• Dowry Death [Section 304B]

If a married woman dies within 7 years of marriage, through burns or bodily injuries or otherwise that does not seem to be under normal circumstances than such death is termed as a dowry death. Such offences require proofs that the husband had subjected the wife to cruelty. The burden of proof that the wife was not subjected to cruelty is on the husband. This provision was added due to increase in number of cases involving dowry deaths and bride burning.

The offence is defined under Section 304B (1) while the clause (2) deals with the punishment i.e., up to seven years and may extend to life imprisonment.

Ingredients of Dowry Death include-

1. Cause of death of the woman must be burns or bodily injury or something else which is not under normal circumstances
2. Death must occur within 7 years of marriage
3. The husband or his relatives must have subjected the woman to cruelty and must have used force, forced to her to suicide or bride burning
4. Cruelty must be in connection to marriage or dowry demands
5. Cruelty must be the cause of the death
