Solution

The correct option is C 1961
The parliament passed a law in 1961 banning the dowry system. This was passed after reports of many dowry related deaths.

If a woman died within 7 years of being married, the Dowry Prohibition Act mandated that her husband and his family be questioned to make sure that there was no involvement of dowry harassment.
