‘Better to Have a Divorced Daughter Than a Dead One’, Says SC on Twisha Sharma Death Case
The Madhya Pradesh government told the Supreme Court that from Twisha Sharma’s case, there is one moral for parents – “Better to have a divorced daughter than a dead one”.
“So many messages by her. She was living in hell,” Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said.
To this, the Chief Justice said, “There is a law and procedure that has to be followed. We have our sympathies.”
Chief Justice Surya Kant asked both sides, Twisha Sharma’s family and the accused in-laws, not to go to the media and not make statements or anything like that.
“Go to investigating authorities and give statements. We request media not to record statements of witnesses and make it into sound bytes. This is an unfortunate incident,” he said.
The CJI added, “We believe some progress has been made in the case due to the media’s involvement. But we should avoid creating any narrative.”
