Woman committed suicide due to dowry harassment

A newly wed woman, Tabassum, aged 20-year-old ended her life allegedly due to dowry harassment by her in-laws at Bhavaninagar.

Tabassum had got married only a couple of months ago and her family had given whatever was required by the groom’s side as dowry. In spite of this, soon after the marriage, Tabassum’s husband Syed Aleem and his mother Motiya Begum started harassing her for more dowries.

Unable to grin and bear it any more, she committed suicide by hanging herself on Wednesday. A case was registered under Section 304B (Dowry death) of IPC.
