Legal Question in Family Law in India

There has been more than seven years of our marriage. Last month my wife committed suicide by taking poison. Now her parent filed a case against me and my family for dowry death which police has registered. My wife also left a suicide note mentioning that me and my family is responsible for her death because of dowry harassment.

I am Indian, and wanted your advice whether this case (dowry death) has any justified reasoning after seven years of marriage or if this is a valid case then please cite me some examples.

Many thanks in advance.

See, the presumption of dowry death after 7 years is not so strong in general. But, since the deceased has left a suicide, that could be a vital proof to lend u in trouble. A charge of abatement of suicide will run against you. There are citations but your facts will decide what citation could help you.
