Domestic violence law a recipe for social disaster 14 August, 2008
The war between foreign funded feminist organisations and non-funded organisations is brewing. We should tread this path carefully for the betterment of society and not let the foreign forces ruin India.

ONE IN every six persons in Delhi is likely to face 498 a (dowry) law soon, which would lead to a grave situation as the law entails arrest without investigation and is a non bailable offence.

Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) is currently in the process of talking to organisations fighting to stop misuse of dowry and other laws for the protection of women. Some of these groups are demanding that Section 498a, Indian Penal Code (IPC) ie the dowry Law should be applicable only to husbands and not to his relatives; also it should be made non - cognizable so that arrests are made only after investigations. Recently Gender Human Rights Society was called on August 1, and on Aug 18, Mothers and Sisters Initiative Regd (MASI), a women organisation fighting for preventing misuse of women protection laws is invited.

Some foreign United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAID) funded women organisations are writing to the ministry that it should not talk to men organisations for reasons best known to them. They do not want a balanced family system to exist in India as it is the greatest impediment to their impeachment policies aimed at large scale destruction of Indian society and culture. Whereas non funded organisations like Gender Human Rights society strongly say that the the demand that ministry should not talk to men is absurd, and a foreign trick to harm India. Marriage is a social institution run by both men and women and hence the views of both the sides need to be taken into due consideration.

With one in six persons in Delhi alone is likely to face 498a (dowry law) complaint, the arrest without investigation (non bailable) can lead to mass misuse of law and legal terrorism unleashed on them. A significant population is already suffering, and all over India non funded organisations are being formed to amend this law as the government has turned its blind eye and deaf ear to the sufferings of lakhs of people from misuse of dowry related and other women protection laws. About 86 per cent of women in Delhi’s Tihar Jail are due to dowry law, so this law is harming everyone including women.

Also Domestic Violence Act, 2005, should be reviewed. The organisations say that the domestic violation law, in effect from Oct 2006, is totally one sided, and can be used to throw men, of joint family, out of their own houses. Even Supreme Court has said that domestic violence law is loosely drafted, and including houses of relatives of husbands in the law can lead to social chaos. A renowned Delhi High Court judge in his detailed judgment on the domestic violence law has said this new law has a perfect recipe for social disaster.

Sandeep Bhartia, president of Gender Human Rights Society says there are 40 new law proposals for women in pipeline under influence from foreign countries funding radical and one sided women organisations. In order to prevent a fatherless society in creation and reinstate gender harmony, these new law proposals should involve judges also, as judges are difficult to be influenced by foreign funding. Also they have given written requests to the ministries to involve organisations fighting for preventing misuse of women protection laws in the law drafting process by the ministry.

A third of children in some countries are being harmed by fatherless families, lets not let that happen in India. Lets stop well funded radical feminists by involving neutral organisations and judges in the law drafting process by the ministry.

Looks like the war between well funded radical feminists organisations and others non funded organisations is just beginning, we should tread this path carefully for the betterment of society.

.All the men in India and its parliament and all state legislatures need to wear bangles, bras and high heels as they have now turned into eunuchs. In modern India, there are only two genders - 1. Female 2. Eunuchs. Where have all the men gone???
.Excellent info, this gives an insight to what kind of biased laws our future generation might face. Agree, that there need a law to protect the women (these laws don't consider mothers and sisters women). There shoud be provision in the law to punish the false accusers, a lot of 498Wives have hijected the law for their advantage and would eventuly make this law ineffective for the daughter in-laws who are and will suffer the inhumane treatment of their husbands and in-laws.

.Well funded feminists are also propagating myths by obfuscating statistics to show that women are always being battered at home by drunken husbands and that women are killing female foetuses under pressure from their in-laws. These stereotypes lead to social acceptance for anti-male laws that govern our country today. Awareness for Male Rights must be created.
.Oh really? Perhaps your child would be better off without a violent father like you, or may be you'd be better off yourself without a violent father. But generalizing all fathers as violent (which is the rationale behind such clumsy laws) is nothing less than a psychic disorder, IMO.

There was no generalizations being made on my part. The generalisations made are by 'fathers rights' advocates that promote the propaganda that all fathers are not violent. Irrespective of opinions, the fact remains that children do better without a violent parent, male or female, and domestic violence is nonetheless primarily male gendered. Do the math.

.This writer is promoting the propaganda that serves to re-victimise women and children. To call them "well funded radical feminist organisations" is a personal attack on people who are calling for legal and societal sanctions against those who commit violence to women and children within their own families. It is not an attack on the legiimacy of their position. Personal attacks are what has to be resorted to when no other option exists. 'No father' is better than 'a violent father.' More children are harmed by violent fathers than having 'no father'. Fathers that do not harm their partners and children don't often lose them.

Male feminist lapdogs like you believe that all men are violent rabid dogs and all women are Mother Theresas. This basic accumption is the root cause for your response where you say men's rights are like re-victimising women. The victim politics that is being played out by feminist organisations to dominate men and also garner funds is to be condemned and this victim politics alone will one day be the root cause for men to fight back against their oppression. Its high time feminism is buried deep inside the earth or taken to outer space and junked before it destroys the society and the family.
Oh yes violent fathers like you think all fathers are like that. And that is the result unscrupulous people taking undue advantage of a malicious system leaving genuine victims in lurch.
.women and their so called liberations pleas have always been sourse of money for many in our country. ball is int he court of women. tehy should shed their stupid family undertones and fight against any force that come on their way in the form of domestic violence. violance in any form is violence. money is the reason behind all these laws and legislation. at the end of the day women left in the lurch. fight women. take violators to the right place and proclain you deserve a decent place. our politicians are much less than those ones who commit such violen\ce, it is money that makes them frame spinless laws, as good as themselves.
.Wats new? Indian Police, Indian Ministers are more than happy to create and implement such laws.. how else can they show their impotency?
