Anti-dowry and DV act: Is an amendment necessary?

Save family Foundation along with all other associates organizations continuously demanding the Anti-dowry Law and 498A should be bailable, compoundable and non-cognizable offence with reference to Malimate committee reports as well as Mr. J.D.Kapoor’s recommendations.  

Further all marriage and relationship related law the word “Men/Women” to be replaced with “Person” and “Husband/wife” to be replaced with the word “Spouse”.
They want a Domestic Harmony Act, instead of presnt Domestic Violence Act .

Women in India have often to get their extra share in Indian society without any self-hard work, be it in the early centuries or in the modern age. The rest of the world must learn form the Indian women, how to became the owner of any property/assets/gold’s by default, even though you do not have any source of income, only think they have to ensure to marry a good earning Husband.
 In a country where people worship the Lakshmi and the Saraswati , no dought women continue to be get their safety, life style demand and all sympathy, even after burning their Husband’s or killing the child openly in public. In certain cases, such type of women got Movie award or Government awarded also for their Brave work.

One still comes across tens and thousands of battered Husbands, many of whom are subjected to extreme torture by their wives.

But with the Indian government not interested  to bring any amendment to balance the dowry legislation, 498A and DV act, there seems to be no ray of hope for Indian men in this country.

Disturbing facts

According to a case stastics by  Crime Bure of India , after marriage the suicide rate of Indian husbands are increasing at least double than unmarried men. Every year more than 22000 Indian husbands are ending their life as they can’t meet their wife’s enormous daily torture and failed to fulfill their wife’s high sky lifestyle demand, let it be from a rented house to flight ticket.  More than 98 per cent of married men are victims of physical torture, economical torture, and mental torture and denied to have sex at least once in the span of their first three years of marriage. The same increased by 1.5 times after 5 years of marriage and by 3times after 7 years of marriage. 
 
Presently the Anti Dowry Act and domestic Violence Act is not applicable, when a wives family demand any property/money/separate house from husbands family, as it is their on birth right to demand any thing from husbands family and the same is not crime, even if they kill their husbands by their boy friends or even it is not crime if they do the adulterate relationship with other men.

On the other hand, let the Husband provide all the comfort to wife, but if any one day morning due to some any reason, the wife run to police station and say “ I had been abused by my husbands and his mother/sister, let his mother sister stay with them or stay 2000 KM far away “ immediately a FIR will be register under 498A or DV act and will be put behind the bar, irrespective the husbands is innocent or criminal.
Wife’s verbal statement is sufficient to send any TOM/DICK/Harry or marry behind the bar and it is the Husband has to prove that he is innocence. But, in this situation also only less than 2% husband failed to prove his innocence (found the allegation of wives are right) and all the 98% cases the Husband will be treated as a Free ATM Machine, the wife will not take any responsibility or job of a wife, but husband will be forced to pay unlimited amount under CRPC 125 to the wife, as presently the Cap of Rs.1500/- had been removed. Supreme court had not forgot to term the same as “Legal Terrorism of India”.
 Hence to give justice 2 so called abused wives, 98 innocent Husbands had been became victim of Legal Terrorism along with his mother, married or unmarried sisters. What our LAW maker failed to understand that , those 2 wife can easily got justice in the present IPC Blackmailing and extortion law , hurt to injury law itself and for that no special law was required.

The National Commission for Women (NCW) has repeatedly failed to ensure that girl’s parents should provide the equal right to their daughter in terms of education, job and parental property. Result those greedy, money minded girls parents became a legal terrorist of India and openly demanding money/property/Gold in front of open public, media and court also and all are just silently enjoying the same extortion process.  NCW and their all associates including CSR, heads, always took the double standard regarding the clarification of demand of “Dowry”, “Streedhan” and the Sowry (dowry form husbands family). At the time of marriage every thing is “Streedhan” and if any dispute occurs after wards, every think will be termed as dowry demand.

Social stigma

Activists however argue that there will no change regarding the status of Indian Husbands as maximum such incidents go unnoticed, largely because men are reluctant to file a complaint against their own wife.

Our country has a long list of legislations passed to protect the rights of women, but activists say the laws are hardly provided any relief to the real victim, on the other hand it became a whole sale free license to extort the money, got a easy and fast divorce and create a Father less society, the way today we witness in rest of the world.

There has been a legislation barring abortions of female fetuses by women preferring a male child but all in vain as there are several ultrasound centers that allow sex determination tests. A millions of Indian Husband’s to have a lovely daughter had gone in vain, as it is the birth right of the wife to abort the child, irrespective the husband want or not.

But there are many who believe that this new amendment, where the gifts given to the girl at the time of her marriage will also be taken into account, will bring about a positive change.

Even though the fresh set of legislations DV act aims as a refreshing change, India still has a long way to go to safeguard Indian Husband’s basic right to stay at his own home. Result we witness: Every day 30 to 40 Indian Husbands in Delhi alone loosing their own home, more than 22000 Indian husbands ending their life and more than 22.5 lacks crime against men all over India. 

There will not be any wonder, the same will be increased at missile speed and we will reach to a "father less society" very soon.
As soon as any Indian Husabnd got any Judgement for Child Visting right, forget about the Custedy of Child, the Domestic Violence Act Fired and Judges produly announce the order , father should not visit the Child or Hand over the child to the so called mother, who several time refuse to give the child a drop of milk or even term the Child as failure of safety measures..etc.
Media produly announce "a child reunited with mother", but forget to mention , gift of another 'Father less Child" by Domestic Violence Act .
