Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) deals with the offense of dowry death. It states that if the death of a woman is caused by any burns or bodily injury or occurs under suspicious circumstances within seven years of her marriage and it is shown that soon before her death, she was subjected to cruelty or harassment by her husband or any relative of her husband in connection with a demand for dowry, then it shall be deemed to be a dowry death. The punishment for the offense of dowry death is imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than seven years but which may extend to imprisonment for life.
