India's Supreme Court rules that refusing marriage doesn't automatically mean abetting suicide.

The Supreme Court of India ruled that refusing to marry someone does not constitute abetment of suicide, unless there is proof of intent to encourage suicide. This decision overturns the conviction of Kamaruddin Dastagir Sanadi, who was accused of abetting his lover's suicide. The court emphasized that broken relationships are common and do not amount to criminal acts without specific provocation or intent.
