January 19, 2016

Mangaluru, Jan 19: More than a month after a woman allegedly ended her life unable to bear harassment over dowry near Konaje in Mangaluru taluk, her husband has been arrested by the Ullal police.

Aboobakkar Siddiq, a resident of Nadar-Madoor, was arrested on charge of abetting his wife Ramlath to commit suicide. He was produced before a court which remanded him judicial custody.

The accused had gone absconding after Ramlath went to her maternal house and committed suicide on December 13 under the limits of Konaje police station. The case was later shifted to Ullal police station.

Aboobakar had married Ramlath, daughter of Hasanabba, from Adkarepadpu near Konaje nearly 15 years ago.

It is learnt that for past few years Ramlath’s husband and in-laws were harassing her demanding additional dowry including Rs 5 lakh in cash and jewellery.

The family members of the Ramlath have accused Abboobakar, his mother Nebisa and sisters Mumtaz and Asma and latter’s husband Yunus of torturing the victim both physically and mentally.

At any cost Suicide is non-pardonable towards Almighty Allah, there are many doors open which will save her and support her by morally and financially. It is really very bad to take such a serious step and Islam condemn ending life by our selves.

dowry banned all over still this people want dowry send them to hell.

Maulanas talking too much about our religion...why cant they teach people it is haram taking dowry from bride's parents....they should be held responsible for it...they are not conveying rightful message of our prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) to the people....hypocrites...
