Abetment to suicide has been a controversial topic since the inception. The High court and Supreme court orders were in favor of the accused sometimes. Lets discuss different aspects of Abetment to Suicide and how it affects the life of common man. I will discuss the case laws regarding it to give a better understanding into the matter. The first case is of a man accusing his wife of extramarital relationship and committed suicide due to the reason that he could not tolerate his wife adultery, court relieved the wife and said in the judgement that it is the case of Hypersensitivity and the man had a option of taking divorce on the grounds of adultery which he had not taken. The second case is the case of a woman whose fiancée cancelled the marriage due to the overburden of this sorrow she committed suicide, court relieved the fiancée and said it was a Hypersensitive nature of woman and Breach of promise due to family pressure. The third case is of a corporate Employee in the position of a salesman, committed suicide due to the disgrace by the Boss in front of the other Employees, the court relieved the HUL company and said that there was not a case of instigation to suicide like threat of cutting salary or bonus or threat of killing the members of Employee family. So, the abetment to suicide laws are not applicable to the Hypersensitive people of Indian society.
