Mr.Suresh, I hope it wont be a good idea, as it is non compoundable offence, so try to come out on merits of the case. but still court will have last say in this matter even if witness fail to stand the test of time.

In 304B the cout has only to seek

  1.  if there is a marriage
  2. if marriage was not more thann 7 year old
  3. if there is a death of bride
  4. if death is under unatural circumsntaces (suicide in this case

then accused have to prove that it is not a dowry death or go in for 7 years.

all other facts are not of much relevance.

the complainant does not have to prove allegation of dowry demand.  accused has to prove absence of such.

concenerate accordingly.
