How Many Years in Prison for a Husband Who Abuses His Wife Leading to Her Suicide?
According to Article 130 of the Criminal Code 2015 regarding the crime of driving a person to suicide, the provisions are as follows:
- Whoever cruelly treats, frequently bullies, abuses, or humiliates a dependent person, causing that person to commit suicide, shall be subject to imprisonment from 02 years to 07 years.
- Committing the crime under one of the following circumstances shall be subject to imprisonment from 05 years to 12 years:
+ Against 02 or more people;
+ Against a person under 16 years old or a woman known to be pregnant.
In your case, the husband frequently humiliated and abused his wife, who is dependent on him, leading her to commit suicide. Therefore, the elements of the crime of driving a person to suicide are fulfilled. Since the wife is pregnant, the husband may be subject to imprisonment from 05 years to 12 years.
Sincerely!
