misuse the provisions of Sec 498A of the IPC.

What ever be the reasons.....  this is how the poor husband is posed against his wife who decides to weild her 'ill - legal' power against him !!

Nice picture

reality show by mr gundlapallis

Everyone of us know the "behind the scene" of great 498A. But how to stop it ?

How to get these women know what happens after the arrest and bail part is over !

she become a 498a wife along with her kid(if any). No one will marry her again. She will have to stay as a burden of her old parents same as a imprisonment. And moreover she will loose her carrier badly.

My simpthy is with all such husbands torutured by wifes but

plz also see the other side of coin, i have deal such a cases where wifes are so much harassed that even they cannot even face their husband due to fear and husband are so much cruel even they try to kill the wife to get another girl for the sake of dowry.

So the idea behind 498A is to reform the society and not to press the husband but if husband are on right track then even police did not register any FIR and if registered or complaint filed then they easily slip away from the clutches of this act coz they are genuine.

We save lots of husnads also and help the poor laidies also. So every act has its own impact on every person.

Like in death sentence, for the society it is cure but for the person sentenced, it is just like murder which is honoured.

So in this society be broad mind and be expert to deal such cases.

Good luck

Kamalji,

What u have said is true. But when we were young, all of us had read an idiom, "look before you leap".

So if anyone leaps without thinking about their own future, then why should others worry about it ! Previously when peoplw were so called less literate, society was less modern, how many of us had listened of divorce, seperation etc etc.

Can anyone tell me how many dowry deaths or divorce or seperations u have heard about in your own relative circle, when you were young ?

Hope u won't take my comments too much personal.

We must stop the misuse of dowry law as well as prevent the innocent women by this law.

i agree with the views of  Raj Kumar choudhary 

Family counselling centers should be set up and it should be made mandatory to approach Counsellor/Counselling center before approching court of Law for Matrimonial Dipsutes.In so for cases U/Section 498-A  amendments should be made like incorporating punshiment for filing false complaint rather than forcing husband to file another case , Preliminary enquiry should be made mandatory before arresting the accused.I am not for scraping off S.498-A bcoz of illteracy and socio economic conditions of our country.
 

In answer to this I am just putting my own case. I came to know that my wife had been to the P.S. where we used stay (my work place away from my Hometown) but she couldnot lodge a complaint right at that time due to some reason or other.

I personally went ot the P.S. and met the Officer. The Officer gave me a friendly ear and listened to me carefuly. After that he realised the problem and right in fornt me he called up my wife, then staying at her parents home. He told her about the after effects of the FIR. He even said that once I get away from hands of Police, my first and foremost aim will be to harras her legally, which she will not be able to escape. And moreover she will never be able to come back to me as after filing a false FIR, there is no question of reconciliations. He even as asked her to contact with me and both of us should meet him. He will try to solve the misunderstandings.

My beloved wife didn't give him a ear. She understood that she will not be able to lodge FIR at that P.S. any more. So she came to my parental city and lodged the FIR at my local P.S.

Now Suryanarayan ji u tell me if a wife determines that she will put up a FIR, who will make her understand the aftermaths.

So let those stray dogs bark at us, we will just have to vaccinate ourselves so that we don't get infected by their venom.

Even I have seen a lawyer who tried in vain to make a girl client of him understand the after effects of 498a. I heard him to say that, if the husband is really guilty, it is very difficult to prove in the court and there is a little chance to get him convicted.

But in reality the girl's life and social prestige will be hampered as everyone even her relatives will abandon her in future.

And after a long session of counciling with the girl, the lawyer gave up and handed her over a FIR format to put it to the P.S.

I go with Mr. Victim_Kol

I agree with you Mr.victim_kol but i think u did not follow the second part of my reply!!what abt genuine cases?who is going to protect???i too agree it is most abused provision of law
