Only the tip of the iceberg

120,000 is the figure only for 2 years. Every year ~58000 men are committing suicides in India as there is no protection to them from domestic violence.

And these figures are Govt. figures available on National Crime Records Bureau.

Shame on CPI, CPIM

I am ashamed to see that Left does not understand that laws of family are not draconian. I will try to ask this question at every Left and communist forums from Beijing to shanghai. in no country, 500000 Lakh people are arrested in past 5 years, 120000 people die in two years. source is ncrb and the millions of husbands locked in police custody or killed in them. The left thinks husbands are maosits.

We will fight you if you dont accept it. I feel bad if one Indian is harassed. The real figures like in pendency of court cases in India. 2.7 crore cases , 60% of cases need no jail and are false. 498a accentuates the problem. Add to it, husband has to face false domestic violence cases. While dowry deaths are 7000 ( most of them are wrongly classified as deaths), the false 498a conviction rates are appaling.

while Brinda karat thinks kicking MIL attracts 498a under 498a law, does it mean if parliamentarian kicks somanth chaterjee, it can attarct 498a? lets put things in perspective, why India's divorce rates are high and how laws are used by police to extort. i question why law bodies and NGOs want to harass more and more husbands and make more moolahs.

The real harassment per year of husbands is anywhere upwards to 50 Lakhs per year. Some just recieve verbal threats of 498a and settlement is done using rowdies. Add it to delay in court cases, we have a figure in crores and since parties involved are family members, easily the population affected due to false cases are in 1-4 crores. This is for 498a alone.

Now for 60% of other cases , we are close to 10 crores affected population.( all section of societies and all cases non matrimonial as well).

check this and find why 60% of arrests are not required in India and act as source for extortion . This is admitted passed by two houses of parliament , lower house presided by Somnath chaterjee. Also signed by prathibha patil. But government wont implement it saying husbands are crying hoarse. india is a land of hypocrytic Left which support gay legistaltion though not one person was convicted/arrested in 377, but 498a, 98% are never convicted and law is misused.

Indian Men's Rights Group Claims 120,000 Harassed Husbands Have

Indian Judiciary is one of the corrupt and very badly bias mindset towards the women. Judges belives that they are above law and think as if they are god. Even the order passed itself very bad in law and making mockery of own constituent. Judges does not have guts to punish to women even if she had registered the false complaint. No evidence is required and what ever the women says is treated as truth. Even Supreme court had termed 498A law ( Dowry harassment law) as Legal terrorism at the hands of so call beloved wives. Almost 98% 498A cases are false but none of women are punished for making false complaint and after mere allegation husbands and all his family member are put inside the jail and no investigation is done at all. Judges laugh in court and say follow whatever wife says. Even name calling by husband is treated as crime in india whereas as wife killing husband is treated as social service.

Now the govt of India will conveniently brush the suicides of these men under the carpet as due to financial reasons and the feminists and will continue with feminist's ramblings again on how women need to have more such biased laws .

According to the National Crime Records Bureau( NCRB ) over 56000 married men take their own lives in India every year versus only 26000 married women . While the deaths of women are used as statistics by Indian women's organisations to justify the existence and creation of biased laws and get more aid from foreign aid agencies , the men's deaths are not even reported in the media and are brushed aside stating that they were due to financial reasons .

How long will the biased marital laws be used by vicious women for their unscrupulous men and how long will the govt of India listen to only feminists organisations and their biased statistics and numbers before justice will be done to men and laws will be made gender neutral.

do you still believe that Females are innocent...

What kind of glasses you wore?? after reading daily in news paper that married males are commiting suicides or wife isfilling dowry cases to just teach lessions to husband and his family putting behind the bars and misuse the law, and then do the settelement out side the court with hefty amount, if they fell that they have filled true case then why most of the cases are settled out side the court? one men has to compromise just because his parents, relatives and married sisters are also involved in this and he has no option rather than pay for mistake what he did by marring such female and again sacrifice for his family...

Men really need Ministry for male and speddy law execution in this country...

Check this out...

This is the truth from a woman's eyes (sorry lens)

There are only two kinds of people in this world

Hundreds of ...Thousands of ....Millions of....years might have passed on this earth....and history says again and again that there are only two kinds of people in this world - good and bad. Good people exist in all sects irrespective of gender, race, region and religion and so as bad ones. Then why these pro-women law makers around the world think that women can't be bad. Don't they lie, don't they cheat, don't they beat, don't they kill, don't they harrass, don't they look-down on anybody, don't they hate, don't they feel jealous, don't they get angry, don't they have greediness for money. Do not they have same characters/feelings/emotions of human (so called civilzed animal).

Nature creates most daughters who look like thier fathers and sons who look like thier mothers.

All the religions say all are equal. Constituitions of all countries say everybody is equal. Are these values only restricted to books.

Then why ..and why these feminist law makers do not get it. Hey all the males around the world (if you are a man) it is my solemn request to find a way to make your voice heard.... find time for it every week (like you find time to bath everyday ) ....unite ..and get your rights. STOP BEING LEGAL BONDED LABOR TO extremist WOMEN.
