What was the cause of murder as stated by accused husband or by the parents of the deceased.
In case your friend and mother are accused of dowry death by alleging dowry torture then they could be liable. Otherwise the person who arranges a marriage is not a guarantor of its suceess had it been the case the jails would have a seperate cell for matrimonial agents.
