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.
