Women Misusing India’s Anti-Dowry Law, Says Supreme Court

India’s top court has accused the country’s wo...men of misusing a law created to protect them from harassment by their husbands and in-laws.

The anti-dowry law introduced in 1983 was originally designed to safeguard women from abuse and sometimes death in the hands of relatives but the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled the act was now being “ used as weapons” by “disgruntled wives.”

“The simplest way to harass is to get the husband and his relatives arrested,” the two-judge bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Chandramauli Kumar Prasad, in a 21-page order said.

In some cases, “bed-ridden grand-fathers and grand-mothers of the husbands, their sisters living abroad for decades are arrested,” the order noted.

According to the National Crime Records Bureau statistics, nearly 200,000 people, including 47,951 women, were arrested in regard to dowry offences in 2012, but only 15% of the accused were convicted.

The judges reminded authorities they must follow a so-called nine-point checklist that has been part of the anti-dowry law before noting down a dowry-related complaint.

In case the police make an arrest, a magistrate must approve further detention of the accused, the court ruled.

Dr Sharma is the kindest, nicest person you can meet. We love him.

The real problem is Dr Sharma's ex wife and ...her lies and false complaints.
bhavna krishnatry has not been able to get over losing her good husband. She, her brothers and her father destroyed her household. She is a jilted person and she cannot let go. She has green card and spent all her months of marriage in USA, but she filed false complaints with Delhi Police. Even the Delhi Police knows that her complaint is untrue . Everybody is asking her, why did she not complain to US law enforcement? Well, if she did or if she does, she will be in deep trouble for perjury. Her complaints with Delhi police are nothing but lies. She cannot play with strict, effective and transparent law enforcement in USA. In Delhi she and her corrupt family are playing cheap and dirty tricks. Oh, and I forgot her and her familys terrorist activites in the USA and India. Their record is with US and Indian law enforcements. I tell you, I have met bhavna and she is the meanest and rudest person ever. She and her family are a perfect example of people abusing article 498A. more details
