Recently, the Andhra Pradesh High Court said that a marital cruelty case under Section 498a of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) will not stand against the sisters-in-law of a woman, merely on allegations that they taunted the married woman for not being able to conceive a child. The high court bench of Justice Harinath N observed while quashing criminal charges filed under Section 498a IPC and the Dowry Prohibition Act against two women who were accused of making such taunts against their brother’s wife. The Andhra Pradesh High Court also took note of arguments that after the complainant-woman’s marriage, the sisters-in-law had stayed away from her marital home. As per the details of the case, the only allegation against the sisters-in-law was that they used to taunt the complainant for not being able to conceive a child whenever they came down for a visit. However, the court said that these allegations are not enough to sustain a criminal case. ‘A Few Taunts Here and There Is a Part of Everyday Life’, Says Supreme Court While Quashing Section 498A IPC Case Against Woman’s Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law.
