The complexity of the problem of “Suspicious deaths among women within Seven years of their married life” is so intense and deep as it involves social anthropology, sociology, civilization, marriage systems and customs. Despite of the appreciable revolutionary amendments by lawmakers for the safety and well-being of women, the atrocities against women is on rise as ever. Though the educational and occupational opportunities are providing women with new roles outside the home, their social position in the family remains unchanged.
