Husband and his parent burns wife and baby alive because she didn't pay complete dowry.

#As we all know in india its the other way round, women and their families pay dowry to the husband's family,though it has been banned, but the husband's family still accept very expensive gifts from the wife's family but they don't tag it as dowry because of the ban.#

The police have arrested the husband and his parents.
The primary motive behind the January 30 attack is suspected to be
dowry-related, as alleged by the parents of the dead woman, Jharkhand
state police superintendent N.K. Mishra said.

The three suspects poured kerosene on Annu Devi, 22, and the baby girl
at their village home in the state's Dumka district and set them on
fire, Mishra said.

The 1-year-old child died instantly, and the mother later succumbed to
her injuries in a hospital, police said. A court has sent the three
suspects to jail to await trial, Mishra said.

Asked whether the fact that Devi gave birth to a girl was also a
motive, Mishra said: "That could be a factor. But it was mainly for
dowry.

Her family has said in their complaint she was harassed for money and
other things."

Devi married three years ago, Mishra said. Dowry is banned in India,
but giving expensive "gifts" to the grooms and their relatives at
weddings hosted by the brides' families remains a common practice in
the country.
