Study Report on Indian Men, How They Are Harassed Under Legal Terrorism
This is a Report based on 5 years Research and Study on dowry Prohibition act, its use and misuse.This Reasearch conducted by our own Experts of MyNation for Save Indian Society,and not funded by any gender biased organisations. We studied 1500 Plus Families, these are feed backs from them and from the reports published by media.What is IPC-498a ?
Cognizable - The accused can be arrested and jailed without warrant or investigation
Non-Bailable - The accused must appear in the court to request bail
Non-Compoundable - The complaint cannot be withdrawn by the petitioner
The accused, on a woman's one complaint, are considered guilty until proven innocent, and the burden is on the accused to prove their innocence in the courts. It is even more torturous that old ailing parents too are arrested prior to investigation. Is this not violation of Human Rights of Indian citizen?
When an FIR (First Information Report) under IPC section 498A (anti-dowry law) is registered by a woman, the accused - the husband and his old parents, brothers, sisters, relatives - are arrested and jailed without investigation. The Supreme Court of India has ruled several times that arrest should be an exception, and not compulsory. Why is there no penalty for disobeying the Supreme Court's orders? Is it not mental cruelty to subject a person to arrest without investigation or reasonable cause? Police are subjected to gender sensitization training wherein they are forced to take women's complaint and arrest the accused even when they find the case to be fabricated. And in case the police do not react on a woman's false complaint, the women groups are given unnecessary powers to take legal action against the officer-in-charge of the police station.
As per our Study, we found out that, it is a custom in India to give support to bride in the form of gold and valuables to support her future life with her husband, as husband take home the bride's Father's financial burden.

The contents of the letters and documentary proof given by us were ignored by the police authorities and were not made part of the investigation. These letters or the documentary evidence have also not been submitted along with the Challan to the Ld. Trial Court by the Police. The Police authorities have registered a case on suo moto/ self prepared statements of six relatives of the complainant who either did not come to Police Station or the Police personnel never visited them to record their statements as these witnesses did not signed these in confirmation of giving their statements. Statement of one witness was recorded by the IO in April, 2009 whereas he had died in February, 2008 about one year and two months before the recording of his statement. Is this possible? Perhaps for the Police. Police Authorities are adamant to supply the information sought by me under RTI Act since July, 2009.

There is no doubt that women are using Dowry Act/Section 498-A as a tool to harass their in-laws. It has now become a practice that whenever a woman does not get adjusted in a family or with her husband, she used to choose this unlawful way to harass her in-laws. The law also does not come to the rescue of in-laws, but always stands to harass them. The law enforcing agencies are all set to harass in-laws just to extract money from the so called accused persons. I am a victim of such a harassment and suffered a lot.
2. On a false complaint of harassment and demand for dowry from my daughter-in law, a FIR was registered by the Police Station, Sirhind, Distt Fatehgarh Sahib in December,2008 against me and my son and a Challan was file in the court of Addl. CJM, Fatehgarh Sahib in May, 2009. I and my son have sent to IGP and Sr. SP, Fatahgarh Sahib letters giving enough evidence which show that all allegations made in the complaint against us are false and baseless. The contents

Pal, nobody is against the Dv act for its intentions. WE are against the DV law because of it being unconstitutional, illegal and against equality. If women were taken for granted for long, it does not mean that men are taken for granted now. Two wrongs can never make a right. Men are as much discriminated by society as women are.....by the way, you seem to be supporting misuse of laws. Are you crazy!!

Richa, the problem with women like you is that you cannot digest the fact that men are fighting back against oppression by women.....you cannot accept the fact that men are opening up and expressing their problems which have been suppressed by society for centuries......we men want women to be free like us but be equally responsible for it......no woman should be pampered. that's it.

Priya, marriage is a business for women too. every woman wants a husband who is well-earning, well-settled and with car bangla etc.....women consider men as money-making machines!!! isn't this dowry in reverse???

dear rajesh,
I have gone through the same phase what you are going through.what i feel is that first you both get councelled and if it still does not work then before she puts you in trouble send her to parents place for till she realizes the facts and comes back to you.If she does not then let her be happy at her parents place and you also try to be happy....Dont give her divorce.

It is very true that the women of India are using 498a as a"BRAMASTRA" against their husbands.It is going to ruin the future generation as already women have started misusing this law.It needs an ammendment before it is too late. we need to fight to avoid harrasment by wives to their husbands.
