abstract="In India, the traditional custom of dowry not only encouraged parents to be gender selective and greedy husbands and in-laws to torture brides, it also curtailed women status drastically. This resulted in the increasing trends in dowry deaths. Deciding the nature of death as accidental, suicidal and homicidal mainly holds on the autopsy surgeon and the investigation officer. This paper discusses various medicolegal aspects of the investigation of burns in dowry deaths. © 2018, Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology.
