Abetment to Suicide-- Single Incident of Slapping Wife by Husband -- Late Night Returns of Husband From Work -- Ordinary Domestic Quarrels Neither Constitute Cruelty Under S.498A Nor Abetment of Suicide Under S.306 IPC -- Acquittal
Ordinary domestic quarrels and a solitary incident of slapping do not constitute "cruelty" under Section 498A of the IPC. Conviction under Section 306 IPC for abetment of suicide requires proof of a positive act of instigation or intentional aid; mere marital discord without proximate causation is insufficient.
