According to prosecution, Sabeena got married to Saleem in 2009 after which she was tortured by her in-laws for dowry. They later set her ablaze on July 31, 2011.
After battling for life for five days she succumbed to her injuries on August 4 in the neighbouring Khargone district.
In her dying-declaration, the victim had blamed her in-laws for the incident, the prosecution added.
