One strange case came to the local court in Tamil Nadu. One middle aged lady, who was deserted by her husband, killed her only infant child, that was just 3 years old, by pushing it into the well and then she herself jumped into the well to COMMIT suicide. She was rescued promptly by the villagers in the neighborhood. She was ARRESTED and brought to the court. The judge asked her about the crime she had committed, the first crime was murdering her own child, the second crime was attempting to commit suicide. She admitted both without defending. Both crimes are punishable as per Indian Penal Code. Before awarding the punishment under respective IPC, the judge was listening one of the questions from a lawyer towards her . Instead of killing your child cruelly by pushing into the well, you COULD have purchased poison & mixed it with food so that the child could have died without much struggle & pain. She replied “ Sir, if I had that much money to purchase, why should I try for this act, rather I WOULD have purchased food and fed my dear child happily even if don't have food to eat for myself”.
