Breaking-up of relationship isn't abetment to suicide, heartbreaks part of life: SC

Supreme Court has ruled that refusal to marry cannot be construed as abetment to suicide under penal law of the land. Emphasising principles of law governing abetment, the court held that broken relationships and emotional setbacks, while unfortunate, are a part of life. They cannot amount to criminal culpability unless accompanied by specific acts of provocation or instigation, court added.
