The act of a wife slapping her husband in front of others doesn’t tantamount to instigate the husband to commit suicide, the Delhi High Court said on Wednesday. The order came while discharging a woman for the alleged offence of driving her husband to commit suicide by slapping her in presence of others.
“Even if one were to consider the incident of alleged slapping as instigation then one has to keep in mind that the alleged conduct should be such as to drive any normal prudent person into committing suicide,” Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva said.
