Additional Sessions Judge Narinder Kumar convicted Feroze considering, besides other circumstances, the medical opinion which confirmed that the hanging was not suicidal but "homicidal".
The judge also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on Feroze.
Feroze's mother Mehrunisha was, however, let off by the court due to lack of evidence.
Feroze was found guilty of murdering his wife Tarannum, whom he had married in 2007, by hanging her from ceiling of their room on the intervening night of August 11-12, 2010.
Tarannum's brother told police and the court that Feroze and his mother used to harass and beat her but it nowhere transpired if it was for dowry.
The court arrived at the conclusion that it was a case of murder and not suicide, considering the medical evidence that all injuries of the victim were fresh and death was due to asphyxia caused by homicidal hanging.
On the question as to who killed Tarannum, the court held Feroze guilty as he had deposed that he was sleeping with his wife in the same room and he found her hanging when he woke up late in the night.
"In the given circumstances, it was for Feroze to explain as to how did Tarannum suffer fresh injuries on her person. This goes to show that scuffle took place prior to Tarannum was hanged. The doctor has categorically opined that it was not a case of suicidal hanging," the judge said.
The court also noted that Feroze's conduct in not rushing to his mother to inform that his wife has hanged herself and not calling the police goes against him.
