STOP Misuse of Dowry Law.

Please Sign PIL Against Misuse of 498A

Todays modern indian women, in the name of LAW, misuseing Dowry protection Act IPC -498a to harass innocent husband, his old aged parents and his sisters, Even if he has not taken any dowry or demand any dowry. Just because she is not able to adjust to husband home, To have more Freedom, To control her in-laws, When husband find out her infedelity. or Blackmail husband incase he divorce her, for her mistakes.

Under this section Authority charge Everyone who named,without any Enquiry,they jail old Aged parents of husband, Full pregenent sisters of husband, and also breast fed children of her coz they cann`t seperate when mother was falsly charged in 498a. it is not a law to protect women but harass more innocent women to protect one women.

The Dowry Prohibition Act, was enacted with the intention of protecting wives from marital violence, abuse and extortionist dowry demands, however, the actual implementation of these laws has left a bitter trail of disappointment, anger and resentment in its wake, among the affected families

The truth is, that there were adequate provisions in the IPC Sections 323, 324, 325 and 326 for use against anyone who assaults a woman or causes her injury. The Indian Penal Code was amended twice during the 1980s - first in 1983 and again in 1986 - to define special categories of crimes dealing with marital violence and abuse In 1983, Section 498A of the IPC defined a new cognizable offence, namely, "cruelty by husband or relatives of husband". This means that under this law the police have no option but to take action, once such a complaint is registered by the victim or any of her relatives. It prescribes imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and also includes a fine. The definition of cruelty is not just confined to causing grave injury, bodily harm, or danger to life, limb or physical health, but also includes mental health, harassment and emotional torture through verbal abuse. This law takes particular cognisance of harassment, where it occurs with a view to coercing the wife, or any person related to her, to meet any unlawful demand regarding any property or valuable security, or occurs on account of failure by her, or any person related to her, to meet such a demand.

During the same period, two amendments to the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961, enacted in 1984 and 1986, made dowry giving and receiving a cognizable offence. Even in this case, where a person is prosecuted for taking or abetting dowry, or for demanding dowry, the burden of proof that he had not committed the offence was placed on the accused. However, no punitive provisions were added for those making false allegations or exaggerated claims. There is, of course, the law against perjury (lying on oath). But in India, the courts expect people to prevaricate and lawyers routinely encourage people to make false claims because such stratagems are assumed to be part of the legal game in India. Therefore, the law against perjury has hardly ever been invoked in India. Section 406, to be invoked by the woman to file cases against her husband and in-laws for retrieval of her dowry prescribes imprisonment of upto three years for criminal breach of trust. Often, highly exaggerated or bogus claims are made by unscrupulous families who demand the return of more than was given as 'stridhan', using the draconian sections 498A and section 406 of the IPC as a bargaining tool.

Furthermore, another Section 304B was added to the IPC to deal with yet another new category of crime called "dowry death". This section states that if the death of a woman is caused by burns or bodily injury, or occurs under abnormal circumstances, within seven years of her marriage and it is shown that just prior to her death she was subjected to cruelty by her husband or any relative of her husband, in connection with any demand for dowry, such a death would be called a "dowry death", and the husband or relative would would be deemed to have caused her death. The burden of proof is shifted to the accused party. The basic spirit of Indian jurisprudence is that a person is presumed innocent till proven guilty. However, in all these cases the person is assumed guilty till proven innocent.

The person held guilty of a "dowry death" shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than seven years but which may extend to imprisonment for life. By inserting a new section 113B in the Indian Evidence Act, the lawmakers stipulated that in cases that get registered by the police as those of "dowry death", the court shall presume that the accused is guilty unless he can prove otherwise.

This is understandable in cases of death because the unnatural demise of a woman through suicide or murder is in itself proof that something was seriously wrong in the marriage. But problems arise when the same presumption applies to cases of domestic discord where the underlying cause of conflict is not necessarily the husband's violence, abuse or economic demands but due to the couple's inability to get along with each other.

The law was recast, heavily weighted in the woman's favour, on the assumption that only genuinely aggrieved women would come forward to lodge complaints and that they would invariably tell the truth. In the process, however, the whole concept of due process of law had been overturned in these legal provisions dealing with domestic violence With the police as well as lawyers encouraging female complainants to use this as a necessary ploy to implicate their marital families, making them believe that their complaint will not be taken seriously otherwise. It has become a distinct trend to include dowry demands in every complaint of domestic discord or cruelty, even when dowry was not an issue at all. This has created an erroneous impression that all of the violence in Indian homes is due to a growing greed for more dowry.

This tendency has received a further fillip with the enactment of 498 A, mentioning dowry demands seems to have become a common ritual in virtually all cases registered with the police or filed in court, misusing the provisions of sections 498A and 406. Even members of many women's organisations themselves acknowledge such abuse. Things have come to this pass, not just due to police and judicial corruption/apathy but also because the laws, as they are currently framed, lend themselves to easy abuse.

All these amendments placed draconian powers in the hands of the police without adequate safeguards against the irresponsibility of the enforcement machinery. There are any number of cases coming to light where Section 498A has been used mainly as an instrument of blackmail. It lends itself to easy misuse as a tool for wreaking vengeance on entire families, because, under this section, it is available to the police to arrest anyone a married woman names as a tormentor in her complaint, as "cruelty" in marriage has been made a non-bailable offence. Thereafter, bail in such cases has been denied as a basic right.

This law has lent itself to gross abuse, because arresting and putting a person in jail, even before the trial has begun, amounts to pre-judging and punishing the accused without due process. Although a preliminary investigation is required after the registration of the F.I.R, in practice such complaints are registered, whether the charges are proved valid or not, and arrest warrants issued, without determining whether the concerned family is actually abusive, or they have been falsely implicated. Our laws do not recognise the possibility of daughters-in-law maltreating old in-laws or other vulnerable members of their husband's family.

There are any number of cases where the problem is mutual maladjustment of the couple rather than abuse by the entire joint family. However, a host of relatives, including elderly parents, who are not necessarily the cause of maladjustment, have all been arrested and put in jail for varying lengths of time before the trial begins. There have been several cases where judges have refused bail unless the accused family deposits a certain sum of money in the complainant's name as a precondition to the grant of bail.

There have been of instances where the main point of discord between the couple was that the wife wanted the husband to leave his parent's home or an old widowed mother and set up a nuclear family. Since the man resisted this move, the wife used 498A as a bargaining device, without success though.
Indeed, there have been many cases where the woman uses the strict provisions of 498A in the hope of enhancing her bargaining position vis a vis her husband and in-laws. Her lawyers often encourage her in the misguided belief that her husband would be so intimidated that he will be ready to concede all her demands. However, once a family has been sent to jail even for a day, they are so paranoid that they refuse to consider a reconciliation under any circumstances, pushing instead for divorce, then they are in a fight to the finish. Thus, many a woman ends up with a divorce she didn't want and with weaker, rather than strengthened, terms of bargaining.
Often, these highly exaggerated or bogus claims made by unscrupulous wives and her family fail to stand scrutiny and many cases do not go far because the charges are so exaggerated that the cases fall through. In many instances, out-of-court settlements are made, by presenting, with mutual consent, a joint petition/ in the High Court u/s 482 Cr. P.C., using 498A as a bargaining point by the woman's family. But this in itself amounts to using the law as a weapon of intimidation rather than a tool of justice defeating the letter, spirit and purpose of the law depriving the truly deserving cases of her legitimate dues....
This Law no longer support Age old indian traditions, and marital harmony or solve the Problems of Marriage,than breaking it.

 One thing can solve the problem of misuse of legal system and its provisions by crooked ladies by adding a strict clause -if a wife found guilty in developing false and fabricated stories and misusing the law and its provisions she will give compensation of 1 lakh along with imprisonment for 1 year and the lawyer fighting for her should be imprisoned for 6 month and his licence to be cancelled for further practise.

498a and DV bill are totally anti-democratic and gender biased. They will destroy indian values and Family system.
It is responsible for harresment and not for anykind of protection as proved by the statistics that 98% cases filed under 498a are fake.

The National Crime for Woman consist of thosw woman who never had got down from air conditioned car and they understand themself as the protector of woman.To run there livelyhood they are making other women and respondent male life a hell.These organisation have already shaken the base of relationships and respect in a family.Further to more it is giving encouragement to separation from Nuclear Family which teaches the selfrespect,con fidence,maturit y and discipline in everybodies life right from innocent childhood.
Now a day time has come when marriage will be a contract and will be signed on stamp paper where there will be no consideration for love and affection.Addit ion to it whenever the woman wishes to break,she can even though she is at fault and living in adultry.

Thanx & Rgds

 Please remove this rule or change it so that no one can misuse this act for their personal vengeance. Just because of someones non adjusting nature the whole family should not suffer, even old parents, sisters, children are suffering because of this act. The results of this act will be seen in very near future when no one will be willing to marry.

E-mail: atroubledsoul@yahoo.com 		Laws are very much necessary for a society to survive because all people are not of same physical/mental /financial status and the stronger one will always, by law of nature, will dominate the weaker section. This is something which is clearly visible in wild life.
The basic motivation behind all IPCs are to protect the weaker section of the society. 498A is passed with a gross assumption that married women are the weakest one in a family and laws like this would help. Days were there (and still exists in some rural area) where women are practically helpless once in in-laws house.
But such days are nearing to end - especially in urban societies.. and law such as 498A tend to be grossly misused. We need to come together and resolve and fill in the gaps to make sure the this law is not abused.

 Section 498a is grossly misused by majority of money & power hunger daughter-in-law s. Over 98% of the cases filed for 498a r proven to be false. So just consider the pain and humiliation of the victims of this law.
For each false complaint there are more than one women who are the victims of this law who maybe the mother-in-law or sisters or sister-in-law of the husband.
I don't know why they call it law to protect women. Women r using it as a weapon to terrorise the husband's family into submission.
I am not asking to scrap the whole 498a, what i am asking is to plug the loop holes in the law, and to ask for proof of harrasment, and also to make it bailable, and compoundable.

I had posted my views on this site before this happened. Thanks to this law and the unscrupulous protagonists of this law backed by some pervert and sadist Judges sitting even at the level of the SC, I eventually lost every possibility of any contact with my child. The judges in their endeavour to appease these scoundrels can stoop down to such low levels is not unbelievable as can be seen by the order issued recently on May 03/2008 in the first lok adalat held at the SC of India. If this could happen to me in a settlement that was virtully enforced upon me by these megalomaniac judges, what about those instances where they actually pass orders after a trial.

R EAD THE ORDER CAREFULLY TO BELIEVE IT. DOES IT LEAVE ANY SCOPE FOR ME TO EVER BE ABLE TO SEE MY CHILD WHOM I HAVE ANYWAY NOT SEEN OR HEARD OF IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. I WAS ALMOST BLACKMAILED BY THE JUDGES INTO SETTLING FOR THIS.

IS THIS JUSTICE?

ARISE MY FELLOW COUNTRYMEN FROM YOUR DEEP SLUMBER AND KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK ON HELL'S DOOR, BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE AT EVERY STEP WITH THIS 498A.

E-mail: komallapallisrikanth@yahoo.co.in 		My wife after 14 years of marriage, wanted to go away from me and put the 498A against me and my brothers and parents.
