Dowry death is dealt with in Section 304B of the IPC.
Section 304B, added in 1986, provides that where a woman dies of burns or bodily injury, or otherwise than under normal circumstances, within seven years of marriage, and it is shown that soon before her death she was subjected to cruelty or harassment by her husband or his relatives in connection with a demand for dowry, the death is a dowry death and the husband or relative is deemed to have caused it. The punishment is imprisonment for not less than seven years, up to life.
Section 302 is the punishment for murder, Section 304 for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and Section 304A for causing death by negligence.
