A court in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan has sentenced a man to death for burning alive his wife, whom he reportedly regularly taunted over her skin colour.
In her dying statement, the wife identified by local media as Lakshmi said her husband Kishanlal (who was also referred to in court documents as Kishandas) “routinely taunted her for being dark skinned” and would rebuke her over her “dark complexion”.
