Dear Sir,
I am a mental health professional upset with the print and electronic media behaviour and comments on people who end up their life by committing suicide.
International research suggests that the way a suicide is depicted in print and electronic media can increase the chances of other vulnerable people committing suicides by adopting the same method in that society within few months of such depiction. It can more so if the suicide coverage is about a famous person and or if the depiction of such suicide is more detailed, vivid, dramatic with images, suicide notes and repetitive.
In this background WHO and IASP have even released guidelines for media self-regulation in the manner of reporting suicide. However, such international guidelines are not Indian laws which Indian media should adhere to compulsorily.
Now my question is does the print and electronic media in India has unlimited rights in publishing whatever it wants on the pretext of " Public need to know", "the public should know"?
Are there any judgments and Indian law sections which talks about how a suicide should be reported by media?
Can print media publish a suicide note picture or even the content as it is without the written consent of case investigation officer?
Does the dead person or his family members have any right on photographs published depicting dead body hanging from a tree and or kept on mortuary?
Is there any judgment which prohibits media from publishing specific details like name and age of the deceased person who ends up life by suicide just like how a women victim of a sexual offence should not be revealed through media?
Finally, can a government employee file a PIL with respect to this?

Hi, Am having a baby girl of 18 months. Am staying with mother in-laws as my husband is the only son to my mother in-law. Am having 2 sister in law's as well.
My problem is am facing lot of mental torture because of my mother in law and even my father in law uses bad words while talking to me which I didn't like. I told this many times to my husband but he is ignoring my words. I started shouting at my husband and he started beating me infront of all family members. This process is going like that.
I would like to put pulstop to all these things I requested my husband to stay separately then he rejected.
I heard that if wife asks to live separately when there is only son to a mother, then he can give divorce to his wife. Is this true.
If that is the case I have to struggle my entire life with this mental and physical torture.
Please help me.

Thank you,
