Assertion:
Though the law warns that demanding and giving dowry are both crimes, dowry deaths are increasing in number.
RI. Demanding dowry and giving dowry is a custom in our society.
RII. The law is not a strong enough deterrent to the people who commit this crime.
Answer: B
Correct answer: only RII and not RI is the reason for the assertion.
The assertion turns on a contrast: the law forbids dowry, yet dowry deaths still rise. What explains that contrast is RII - the law is not deterring those who commit the crime. RI says the practice is customary, which explains why dowry is demanded at all but not why the deaths are increasing in spite of the law. So only RII is the reason.
