Dowry death presumption arises where cruelty or harassment linked to dowry demand occurred soon before a woman's death.
Section 113B creates a mandatory presumption that a person caused a woman's dowry death where, soon before her death, she was subjected by that person to cruelty or harassment for, or in connection with, a dowry demand. "Dowry death" has the same meaning as under section 304B of the Indian Penal Code. The provision operates within the burden-of-proof framework and requires temporal proximity between the dowry-related cruelty or harassment and the death.
