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
RI is not explaining the reasons behind the increasing number of deaths. RII is a valid reason and under the circumstances given by RII (the law is weak), the law breakers may behave adamantly.
