N2  - Sociological pattern of fatal Burnt Married Females in a series of 152 cases autopsied during 13.06.87 to 03.02.89 were studied in the mortuary of the Department of Forensic Medicine, IMS, BHU, Varanasi. Majority of the victims were in the early periods of their marriage and belonged to low or lower middle class. Newly married females were also much more vulnerable to accidental burns apart from the suicidal and homicidal burning. This paper stresses the different natures of deaths in burnt wives in relation to their age group, community character, educational background, socio-economic status, age at marriage, number of off springs and the time period since marriage when death occured.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
