Reply To: Petition to Rajya Sabha for Section 498A IPC

I have also observed many cases, in which wife in the name of willingness to continue with the marriage invokes sympathy clause of law on the part of judges (who is never bothered (or rather law exempts them to judiciary context free) to know the reality (even if it is broadcasted by media)) (sometimes it is even deliberate). This way 498a takes form of even more deadlier weapon of extracting money as well as inflicting as much injury to the husband and his parents. Particularly when wife family have been traditonally rowdies and husband have only been sincere citizen who have never paid attention to darker side of human activity and his parent mere retired service men as clerk etc.
