Domestic Violence Act

Do you think that Domestic Violence Act would be sufficient to end
the problem of abuse?
Is the Domestic Violence Act harsh on Indian men?

At the outset its an utter shame on Indians to have an act such as this to protect women when we are a nation which has for over 1000s of years worshipped women in so many forms. I'd prefer a manner where a man is put to shame for abusing physically any woman and i don't accept any reason what so ever for physically assulting a woman there are many civil ways to put across any injustice by women

We have so many rules for the better governance. Every time when people find it easy to break it a new law comes into force. We have enough misuse of many rigid laws, many times by the originator them selves. When TADA was found to be not enough another law was put in force. As long as if you dont prevent the law makers from breaking it,any kind of strict law is use less.

so happy to know that there is a domestic violence act in place now ..even if it doesnt end the violence .it will certainly be a deterrent for the man and his family ..and it gives the woman a tool to use when she is in trouble no , the domestic act is not harsh on an Indian man ..not on any man..he need not worry about it if he is not guilty ..remember no woman likes to go on record or to court citing physical abuse from her man ..it is so demeaning . the abuse of woman will continue in my opinion ..why in the first place do we need a mandate from the law to take care of it..does man not have a sense of right and wrong , might not being right ..in every case ? its a shame !

Domestic violence should not be tolerated, but any unfair law is not a solution.. laws should be one and equal to all irrespective of any gender based descrimination..

Hi Shravan,
We have so many rules for the better governance. Every time when people find it easy to break it a new law comes into force. We have enough misuse of many rigid laws, many times by the originator them selves. When TADA was found to be not enough another law was put in force. As long as if you dont prevent the law makers from breaking it,any kind of strict law is use less.

no , the domestic act is not harsh on an Indian man ..not on any man..he need not worry about it if he is not guilty ..remember no woman likes to go on record or to court citing physical abuse from her man ..it is so demeaning .
the abuse of woman will continue in my opinion ..why in the first place do we need a mandate from the law to take care of it..does man not have a sense of right and wrong , might not being right ..in every case ?
its a shame !

Its all am Un Democratic Law passed by certain Hon. Ministers to secure thier seats in the forth comming elections and encouraging Un Democracy in the Worlds Largest Democracy. Do they know that the very meany of Democracy means the Citizens are Equal??

They got this DV Act and the 498As by presenting some fake reports and Statestics!!

Read the Actual Facts and Statestics:

1. RADAR did an extensive search of the UN Population Fund's website. Nothing there! Then a Google search. No luck! So RADAR finally contacted the UNDP Information Office. The UNDP
employee was unable to find a statement in any UNDP publication that even resembled that statistic.

Conclusion: The phony 70% figure was concocted by someone whose agenda was something other than reporting the truth. Latest talk that UN has accepted their mistake and withdrawn their report – has our Ministers too who passed this law based on that report of UN withdrawn the law or forget even think of amending or punishing the Mis users?

Refer to the evidence at:
www.mediaradar.org./alert20061113.php
www.mediaradar.org/docs/UN-ViolenceReport-Resolution.pdf
www.mediaradar.org/un_violence_report_dv_quotes.php


2. How Bad Women can be?

vide en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_attack

From 2003 to 2004, women were more frequently involved in suicide attacks in the Middle East and elsewhere. In Messengers of Death: Female Suicide Bombers, Clara Beyler writes that women have
channeled the frustration stemming from their role in society into ruthless behavior.[6] This can demonstrate strength and power in societies where women have a submissive role. That women have become
more involved in suicide bombings makes it more difficult to profile a suicide bomber.

ERSch.gif ==> shows how ruthless women can be!!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_suicide_bombers

www.ndtv.com/morenews/showmorestory.asp?slug=Assault+case%3A+Renuka+Chowdhary+discharged&id=70842

3. Women also Do:

Refer: www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/19981209/34350394.html

www.ibnlive.com/news/act-wont-hit-good-hubbies-renuka/26051-3-single.html <- Tells she has pity for men, accepts it’s a bad law and doesn’t care for its misuse.

4. Suicide Statistics of India
It is a common perception in India about men driving women to suicide. This is a major hoax created by Gender Feminists and Media Bias.
The suicide statistics in India are presented from World Health Organisation(WHO) sources. One out of ten people dying due to suicide in world is an Indian.
www.frontlineonnet.com/fl1821/18210960.htm
It states that -- "The distribution of suicides by marital status reveals some interesting patterns. The rates do not vary much between the sexes for the never married. Among those currently married, while the rate for males is about 17 per 100,000 persons, the rate for females is 11.4 per 100,000. Among those widowed, while the rate for males is 21 per 100,000 persons, the rate for females is also significantly lower, at 6.6 per 100,000. However, among divorced males the suicide rate is 164 per 100,000 persons, but even in this class, among females the rate is only 63 per 100,000. While the suicide rate for separated men is about 167, for females it is only 41 per 100,000 persons. "

=============================================
National crime records bureau (NCRB) statistics about suicides:

ncrb.nic.in/ADSI-03.pdf
It states that - : "
The ratio of Male : Female victims of suicide was 63 : 37.
Nearly 44.7% of the suicide victims were married males while only 25% were married females."

==============================================================
Refer: www.who.int/ncd/mip2000/presentations/LVijayakumar/sld001.htm
5. Political parties criticizing:
www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1842770,000900010004.htm

6. Every year atleast 50,000 families (out of 70,000 police FIRs on 498a) for nearly 15+ yrs (total 7 lkhs 50,000 families or around 0.5 crore persons) including intellectuals of the country (5% intellectuals responsible for infrastructure in most countries) (like scientists, phds, engineers, doctors) wasted their precious time, value, money for 5 to 8 yrs(minimum time it takes in any court for dowry law in india) declared as innocents by hight courts/supremecourts/session courts. These ppl lost faith, trust on the justice system and governance of the country. Many out of these ppl (very elders) depressed, died, diseased, lived in fear cursing at courts at old age before dying. See how the resources of the country wasted for nothing. who is responsible for this? Is this the way country use/d intellectuals or resources for the country.

No one cares poor real suffering several women who not even inside this 100% 498a cases.

7. A small count of the Misuse just from Bangalore
Wipro Bangalore – 1300
Whole Bangalore – 3200
97% Husbands from IT, 3% from rest of the fields.
Whole India across the last 6 years – 96% Misused, 4% Actual

(Crime Is Crime. Punishment should be irrespective of gender, religion and caste. Let us be honest and fight for truth)
