Domestic Violence Act vis a vis constitutional rights

Acts such as the Domestic violence Act were brought in to prevent exploitation/harassment of wives largely from dowry related violence. The aim was to protect women largely from lower/lower middle class households.

I'm not sure to what extent this has succeeded, but it has given rise to a rather disturbing trend in the middle/uppermiddle class of our society.

Women/wives ( especially in the metro cities) now have husbands at their complete mercy and are blatantlly misusing these rights to intimidate their spouses. They are flooding the courts with ficticious and trumped up charges to extort large amounts of money from their husbands .

This is not an exageration. I've spoken to a number of lawyers ( both men and women) and they almost uanimously confirm the same.

Amazingly, this Act contravenes the inherant principle which says that a person is innocent until proven guilty. This Law unfortunately works on the exact reverse- the husband is assumed to be guilty until proved innocent!! It gives the wife rights over the husband's entire family and they can even be imprisoned without charges being proven against them.

Also, this seems to be aimed at only at women in a particular age group ( of marriageable age). Mothers /ladies who are senior citizens are at the complete mercy of the wives whom these laws are supposed to protect !

I also think this violates constitutional rights under Sec 14 and 21.

I'd be grateful for your opinion and would also like to file a PIL in the Supreme Court challenging the legitimacy of this draconian law.

Citations of Supreme Court

This query arose after reading the following thread http://www.lawyersclubindia.com/forum/Value-of-anonymity-in-true-democracy-36790.asp

It talks about 1995 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission.

My question is do we have similar rulings from our Supreme Court protecting anonymous free speech and expression?
