498 A: A legal terrorism
The Section 498 A of the Indian law was devised to prevent the harassment of married women by her in-laws for dowry. But these days, more and more women are using the law as a tool to settle scores with their husbands and in-laws.
LAKHS OF law abiding innocent citizens of India are falling prey to the misuse of 498 A, a section of law, which is more popular as a form of ‘legal terrorism’.

What do we want?

We as law abiding innocent citizens of India, demand the following as a right:

1. Severe punishment to the authorities engaged in crime against us:

Be it the authorities from police or law, whoever is found guilty of mental and physical torture against us should be punished. The punishment should be decided on the seriousness of the crime having taken place against us, duration of torture and since there are entire families accused falsely in such cases, the punishment should also be multiplied by the number of people having gone through the harassment.

2. The woman, who is found to have put a false 498 A or DV case against her in-laws, should be punished.

The punishment should cover the compensation for the precious time of judiciary. It should also increase with the duration of the trial, which the innocent victim and his family have been through. This also should be multiplied by the number of people falsely accused and the woman should be punished independently for each false accused.

3. No maintenance be paid to the woman, who has filed a false 498 A or DV case.

A woman, who puts a false 498 A or DV case against her in-laws, should not get any maintenance be it interim or final and she should be asked to monetarily compensate for the loss of jobs and money borne by the innocent family during this false case.

4. Above all, cases showing prima-facie false accusation should be immediately closed

There are many 498 A and DV cases where it is evident that the accuser has not stayed with the accused (even if one of them). In such a case neither DV nor 498 A is applicable. Such cases should not be ignored as they create a sense of contentment in the minds of ill intentioned women that they can file any number of false accusations against any number of relatives of the husband.

5. Divorce be ordered easily

When a 498 A case is proved false, divorce should be automatically and immediately awarded to the man along with the final judgement.

.Appreciable thought posted by the author. I myself also a victim since last 2 years and fighting this case with my old parents;against a greedy family of Farakka,W.B. This is our shame to call our country as Democratic where innocent are punished and cruels are getting advantage. Shame to our law system and worthless politicians who only think about their vote bank filled by the Foolish Woman Organisations. 498a was made for help the real tortured women but in fact these ladies are not getting proper justice and those innocent families of groome are being suffered in the hand of this cruel and lame law system. I am so ashamed that I am an Indian where everything is controlled by some ignorant and arrogant selfish law makers. Shame INDIA shame.
.Hello, Can a woman get married for the second time(in the muslim law) if she has filed a case against her her husband as per the india law of 398, 406 what if she is about to marry however there has been a khula done on the basis of certain conditions which she did not adhere. Can a husband claim for a re-marriage stay for her. Appreciate your advice and thanks in advance Regards Kadir
.and my brother were recently abused physically by my brother's (ex) wife who has filed many false cases against us. She openly came to our place with policemen and policewoman and beat me while everything was recorded by our mobile camera. This ruthless behaviour is practiced in India in a completely LEGALISED mannar so that now 498 A misuse victims are not even safe in their own homes, they can be beaten up and tortured by the 498 A wife and her family members even in their homes !!!!!! Beware of marrying your son/ brother in India. If you do this crime, you are eligible of being beaten up in your own home and even if you are a woman, you will not be treated like one since you are mother or sister of an INDIAN MARRIED MAN !!!!!
.Excellent One.. Those who misuse laws shud be dealt with sternly. There shud be no biase while penalizing those who misuse law, be it man or woman. Crime is crime and punishment for crime shud not be gender based.
