HUSBANDS FOR SALE !

HUSBANDS FOR SALE !

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.
You may visit the store ONLY ONCE !
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch . . .. you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but
You cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please... Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

Please send this to all men for a good laugh and to all the women who canT handle the truth

Forget recession. Dowry stalks IT

56% of men who get booked for dowry harassment are techies, says forum for
harried husbands

Injustice bytes IT's Adams. Since the Domestic Violence Act 2005 came to the
help of harried wives, more and more techie hubbies are getting drawn into
cases involving their spouses.
Some 56 per cent of men, who get booked under the dowry prohibition Act or
the domestic violence Act, happen to be those working in IT-BPO and
Business, says Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF), a pan-Indian forum for
harried husbands. All of them happen to be in the age group 24-28 years.
SIFF chairman Pandurang Katti says the findings came out in a sample survey
they conducted of 1,200 aggrieved husbands last year.
The foundation has shot off memoranda to the President, the Chief Justice of
India, the Law Commission and Sonia Gandhi to correct the "lop-sided law
that destabilises thousands of families in the country."
Why techies and businessmen? "Blundly put," says Katti, "it's because the
techies and biz people have more money." It is not limited to the
techno-city alone. There has been a 20 per cent annual increase in
dowry-related cases all over the country in the past four years. National
Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) data says 50,703 husbands were booked for
dowry-related charges in 2003; the number went up to 75,930 in 2007.
"The domestic violence Act is skewed justice," fumes MG Kumar, of India
International Law Firm. "I handle scores of cases involving well-placed
husbands getting spiked for no fault of theirs."
A senior advocate, who did not wish to be named, says he defended a techie
who had married a girl, supposedly an orphan, but this wasn't the case. The
girl's relative sweet-talked her into filing a case under dowry harassment
just to get a quick buck from her husband, the advocate points out.

Are you ready for Marriage with Indian Girl?

Are you ready for Marriage with Indian Girl?
Congratulations! You are a man and over 21 year, ready for MARRIAGE?



First understand Marriage in modern world in India?

It's an undocumented and unspoken but valid legal contract in eyes of
law on Indian land, which you will be entering into by marrying an
Indian girl. This contract is owned by Girl and can be modified any

When Child you tend to learn hence brain in your head.
When Boy you have lots of desires, hence your brain in your heart.
When Adult you do any thing for sex, hence your brain in your genitals.


Why am I telling you this?

Because it's Rule of Life. Genitals control your head and body once
you are Adult. As a result you loose your power to see, listen, and
understand till you are in deep trouble.

Before you get married do you know what your rights are after marriage?

Lol!! You have no rights, only responsibilities. This is even
confirmed and documented by Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. You can be
punished up to term of 7 years or may be life if you talk about your
rights and /or huge fine.

What are these responsibilities?

Four major responsibilities

Love, respect, give priority and maintain your In-Laws.
Maintain and obey your wife, under any conditions.
Maintain your children.
Lastly if left with any money and time maintain your parents.
Do you know marriage related laws in India?

This is the subject matter of this article. Since you are getting
married you should know the laws related to marriage in India.
Remember definition of marriage it's an undocumented and unspoken but
valid legal contract which you will be entering into by marrying an
Indian Girl.

What if your marriage fails because of any reason?

Marriage is just like AIDS / STD virus which spreads slowly and you
got to know when you are in deep shit.

Do you know around 99.7% Indian men think and have strong belief that
they are immune to AIDS / STD.

Source: http://www.avert.org/indiaaids.htm

Are you among those Supermen who think they are immune to gender
biased laws in India?

Indian law permits wife to claim 1/3 of your salary toward her
maintenance or more depending on your living status.
If in Government or PSU job, departmental action can be initiated if
your wife complains them that you are not maintaining her and your
children.
Any house you gifted to your wife or you transferred in her name while
you are paying EMI, goes to her. Based on circumstances Indian Court
may order you to keep paying the EMI.
If your wife has not residence to live she can claim right of
residence in your house or you need to give her rent toward another
house equivalent to your house under Domestic Violence Act.
Based on the circumstances, your wife can claim right in the property
of your father.
You will never get the custody of the child; you need to fight long
battle in court for getting adequate visiting right to your child.
She can claim huge maintenance towards maintaining your child which
will keep increasing year by year. You have to keep paying this amount
till your child attains majority, while your child is being tutored to
hate you.
Even if you, your parents and relatives are innocent, all of you can
be easily arrested on your wife or her parents complaint for harassing
her mentally and physically, which will be taken just on their face
value without any evidences. Case can be booked u/s 498A on you.
You, your parents and relatives can face the charges of taking dowry

it was simple marriage. You wife does not require any evidences and
have to prove any thing. Just her statement and you, your parents and
relatives are behind bars.

can claim divorce easily based on cruelty and harassment you did on
her.

Be ready to shell out couple of Lakhs towards expenses and fee of
advocates who will fight to get you justice.
Your wife can easily get you suspended if you are working in
Government Job if you are arrested and jailed.
Your wife has right to takes away all the gold in your family stating
it as Stree-dhan given by your family during marriage.
What if you die?

Indian Law permits wife to inherit all properties in your name
putting your parents and sibling on the road, while she married other
men.
If you have no property, Indian Law permits her to claim your share
from your Father's property and she married another men.
If you are only son, Indian Law permits her to inherit entire property
of your father once he dies and she marries other men. Law may devoid
him from writing his own will.
After you die, all your retrials, insurance money, cash balance,
movable or immovable property goes to your wife and she happily
marries another man while your old parents are on the road and fight
for survival.
If your parents oppose your wife, she can easily get them arrested on
false case of mental and physical harassment and Dowry demands and

Man with Love Marriage is more prone to get implicated in false cases
like 498A, 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition and Domestic Violence.

Man with Live-in-relationship is not immune to false cases like 498A,
4 of Dowry Prohibition and Domestic Violence.

Recent Honab'le Supreme Court of India judgement points towards that
Man has no right to reject the GIRL for any reason during pre-marriage
talks, if so girl or girl parents may give complaint to police that
you are rejecting as they are not able to meet your dowry demand and
you with your entire family will be arrested and jailed. This is
legally being misused by many girls when they are caught having
affair, do not want to marry or to extort huge money to settle the
case.

Remember God help those who help them selves.

Good Luck.

THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LAW OF INDIA – A SHIELD OR A SWORD ?

THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LAW OF INDIA – A SHIELD OR A SWORD

Feminist organizations have unequivocally and unanimously hailed the
implementation of the Domestic Violence (DV) Act in India. They claim
that this law will empower victims and protect them from abuse.

Most people in their right state of mind would agree that domestic
violence in a relationship is not acceptable. It is only fair that for
their own mental and emotional health and for the well-being of the
children, that the victims be protected from abusive partners.

On the face of it, the law appears to be a blessing for people in
abusive or violent relationships. However, a careful analysis reveals
that, under the ploy of "women and children welfare", this law is yet
another misguided attempt to enact legislation to grant women legal
supremacy over men and to create a society where men are deprived of
their rights.

There are three fundamental problems with this law – a) it is
overwhelmingly gender biased in favor of women, b) the potential for
misuse is astounding and c) the definition of domestic violence is too
expansive.

The DV act singles out men as perpetrators of domestic violence and
assumes that only women are victims. As per this law, only a woman can
file a complaint against her male partner. A man, who is a victim of
domestic violence, has no rights under this law. The fact is that it
has been comprehensively proven in numerous studies [please see
references] that women are no less abusive as men in intimate
relationships. Giving such sweeping legal powers to women while
withholding protection to male victims is tantamount to systematic
legal victimization of men. In the western world, the domestic
violence laws are gender neutral and provide protection to the
victims, both men and women. The fact that the Indian version
explicitly prohibits any male victim to seek relief under this law
defies all logic and is beyond comprehension.

The second significant flaw in this law is that it lends itself to
such easy misuse that women will find it hard to resist the temptation
to "teach a lesson" to their male relatives and will file frivolous
and false cases. A similar trend is already being observed in the case
of anti-dowry law (498a), which is being misused to such an extent
that the Supreme Court has termed it "Legal Terrorism". To illustrate
how easy it is to misuse the DV law, consider the scenarios below.
[She means wife/female live-in partner and he means husband/male
live-in partner]

a) If she demands any amount of money from him, for any reason
whatsoever, he is legally bound to pay that amount in full, failing
which he can be imprisoned. Under the pretext of preventing economic
abuse of women, this law legalizes the extortion of money by women.
Interestingly, if he asks for money from her, he can be jailed for
that as well. Furthermore, he is responsible for paying the rent if
the couple resides in a shared rented accommodation.

b) As per the law, she retains the right to the residence. This
is a very convenient means of getting control of the house regardless
of whether she has any legal right on the property. Moreover, if he is
booked under DV, he is responsible for paying the rent as well, even
though he may not be allowed to live in the house or he might even be
in jail.

c) If she decides not to cook and wishes to eat out in a
restaurant everyday, he cannot afford not to oblige, lest he invites
the DV provision for "not providing food", for which he could be
jailed.

d) If she has an affair and he tries to prevent her from meeting
her lover, he could be punished under the DV act, as he is preventing
her from meeting someone.

e) He can be booked under the DV act if she feels that she has
been insulted. Insult is a relative term, which is totally left to her
discretion. Interestingly, if she insults and abuses him verbally or
even physically, he does not have any legal recourse in this law

These are just some of the ways in which women can exploit men in a
legally permitted manner. The fact that the complaint by a woman will
be treated, prima facie, as "true and genuine" opens up a whole new
realm of possibilities where innocent men will be accused and
implicated in false cases, just because they refuse to give in to her
unreasonable demands.

Most people readily agree that the law will be misused. Their counter
arguments generally are
a) The number of miuses will be very low OR every law is misused
– The objective of any law should be to punish the guilty and protect
the innocent. The persecution of innocents cannot be justified in any
circumstances. As is the case with 498a, this law will be heavily
misused in urban India.

b) If she is happy, then why will she file a complaint – Ah ! So,
the man exists at the mercy of the woman. If the wife wants to kick
out old parents from home or wants to pursue an affair and should the
man dare to object, she can get him incarcerated with alacrity. Any
law that forcefully subjects a section of a society to conduct as per
the pleasure of another section is deemed oppressive and should be
vehemently opposed.

c) There are other provisions to deal with the misuse of this law
– The fact is that there are other legal provisions to deal with
domestic violence as well. If a strict law is made for a specific
purpose, then the provisions for dealing with its misuse should be in
the law itself.

The third major flaw in this law is that it provides an
all-encompassing definition of domestic violence and some terms
(insults, name calling) are extremely subjective. The radical
feminists claim that 70% of women in India face domestic violence
which comes as no surprise as even an insult is considered domestic
violence. Interestingly, they are mum on how many indian men suffer
domestic violence using the same criteria. This law strikes at the
very foundation of marriage by promoting intolerance and litigation
for petty domestic disputes. It is universally recognized that from
time to time differences arise in a marriage and sometimes people,
both men and women, behave in hurtful ways towards each other. Most
people, though, are able to work them out and lead a more or less
happy life with their loved one. However, this law makes it very easy
to escalate the domestic problems in daily life to such a level that
it eventually leads to a breakdown in marriage. Once a man has been
accused of domestic violence for a something relatively minor
(insult), while he might have been subjected to the same treatment
from her, he will perpetually feel threatened by his partner and that
is the beginning of the end. This law will lead to more divorces,
broken homes and the children will pay the ultimate price by getting
deprived of a pleasant childhood.

There are degrees of domestic violence and not all conflicts in a
relationship can be termed as domestic violence. This law trivializes
the issue of domestic violence by including minor differences in its
realm and by explicitly denying protection to half of the population.
The law in its current form is grossly inadequate to tackle the
problem of domestic violence. It imposes a lot of responsibility on
men, without giving them rights. On the other hand, it gives lots of
rights to women without requiring them to be responsible. At the very
minimum, it should be made gender neutral, offering protection to both
men and women. Also, provisions for stringent punishments need to be
incorporated into the law to prevent misuse. Moreover, the law needs
to be made more practical by differentiating between various degrees
of conflicts and by unambiguously defining what constitutes domestic
violence.

The fact is domestic violence is a serious problem and a neutral and
unprejudiced law is needed to protect the genuine victims of domestic
violence, irrespective of gender. The perpetrators of domestic
violence need to be appropriately punished and dealt with. At the same
time, protection cannot be withheld from real victims for any reason
whatsoever, least of all their gender. One can be certain that there
is something sinister about a law, when it intimidates and instills
fear in innocent people. When a person who has not committed any
crime, begins to fear punishment under the provisions of a law, it is
not a law anymore – it is state sponsored terrorism.

Its official, mother-in-laws behind divorces

Its official, mother-in-laws behind divorces
KUALA LUMPUR: Its official, 'interference' by mother-in-laws in family life is the top reason for divorce among ethnic Indian couples here.
Mother-in-law syndrome also haunts ethnic Chinese and Malays who have also cited it as the main cause behind their separation and disruption in their life, a study by the National Population and Family Development Board shows.

"Interference of in-laws is the main reason why Indians divorce. It is the top ranked reason at 30 per cent," said board's Director General Aminah Abdul Rahman.

"In the Indian community, infidelity is the second highest ranked reason for divorce at 25 per cent," she was quoted as saying by the Star online.

The Malaysia Community and Family Study 2004 showed that the two other factors are incompatibility at 42.3 per cent and infidelity at 12 per cent.

Infidelity is a deal breaker in Malay and Indian marriages but it appears to be tolerated among the Chinese.

"Among Malays, the second most common reason for a divorce is infidelity and a refusal to put up with polygamy," she said.

"According to a population survey in 2000, only a portion of the population at 0.7 per cent is divorced," she said.

The data showed that divorce is more likely to happen to those in the age group under 25 and above 40.

Bench's banter reflects sympathy for fairer sex

Bench's banter reflects sympathy for fairer sex

"Do as your wife commands and never question her authority": this advice to husbands came in a lighter vein from a vacation Bench of the Supreme

Court comprising Justices Markandey Katju and Deepak Verma. The judges asked them to adhere to this time-tested formula.

Truthful reporting of these observations of the Bench ruffled quite a few feathers. Many suave and gentle husbands expressed mild disagreement. But they conceded that Justices Katju and Verma must have spoken from the heart and, of course, from years of experience.

The Bench's banter did reflect the traditional sympathetic view that the law and the courts adopt towards the fair sex. Law considers matrimonial relationship to be sacred and takes a strict view of anyone polluting it.

Take for example the offence of adultery, which is punishable under Section 497 of Indian Penal Code (IPC). The offence, as defined in IPC, can only be committed by a man, not by a woman! In Sowmithiri Vishnu vs Union of India (1985 SCC Sup 137), the SC held, "Indeed, the section provides expressly that the wife shall not be punishable even as an abettor... The contemplation of law is that the wife, who is involved in an illicit relationship with another man, is a victim and not the author of the crime."

The SC had attempted to strike a balance, albeit faintly, by reiterating, "The mere factum of the husband and wife living together does not entitle either of them to commit breach of criminal law and if one does, then he/she will be liable for all consequences of such breach."

In matrimonial disputes, many feel that the law leans heavily towards women. They cite lodging of false cases against husbands and in-laws. The anti-dowry law was brought in to protect spiralling crime against women in matrimonial homes. Its abuse by unreasonable persons may raise concern but does not take away the need of the law.

There is an interesting aspect of this law, as laid down by the SC, relating to `stridhan' -- the gifts, money, ornaments and other things that a bride brings with her to the husband's house.

In Pratibha Rani vs Suraj Kumar [1985 SCC (2) 370], the SC ruled that the wife was the absolute owner of the `stridhan' and the husband had no right over it. "She may spend the whole of it or give it away at her own pleasure by gift or will without any reference to the husband," it said. There is no similar reference to a husband's right in law. Additionally, in legal battles over custody of children, the courts, except in stray cases, rule in favour of mothers.

Be it Justices Katju and Verma or their predecessors, each of them have spoken out taking into account the changing dynamics of the most important social relationship. What stands out is probably the 2001 judgment in the case Chetan Dass vs Kamla Devi as it said, "Matrimonial matters are matters of delicate human and emotional relationship. It demands mutual trust, regard, respect, love and affection with sufficient play for reasonable adjustments with the spouse."

Judging who is at fault in matrimonial matters, if one discounts Justices Katju and Verma putting the man always in the dock, is as important as the problem that is brought before the court by one of the parties.

An important "how to judge" guide is provided in the judgment rendered by SC in the case Shobha Rani vs Madhukar Reddi [1988 (1) SCC 105], in which it cautioned both lawyers and judges not to import their own notions of life while dealing with matrimonial problems.

"The judge should not evaluate the case from his own standards. There may be a generation gap between judges and the parties. It is always prudent if the judges keep aside their customs and manners in deciding matrimonial cases," it had said.

Opinions : SC telling a man in a divorce case to ‘obey his wife’

COURTSHIP!

It was sucha joke, the SC telling a man in a divorce case to 'obey his wife'. But is it funny – how pro-woman the judiciary is? DT gets men's opinion on the issue

TEAM DT



Joru ki gulami is the best policy, the SC has told the man in a divorce case. "Biwi joh bolti hai woh suno…," a vacation bench of Justice Markandeya Katju and Justice Deepak Verma observed while hearing a lawsuit by Indian Air Force officer Deepak Kumar, who had complained that his estranged wife Manisha had ruined him and his family by implicating them in false criminal cases, including sodomy. "Hum sab bhuktbhogi hain," the bench observed. "If your wife wants you to see this side, see this side. If she wants you to see the other side, do obey her," said Katju, adding, "One who obeys his wife rules the world."

Sounds like a joke, right? DT asked men for their reactions to this woman-on-top issue. They were asked two simple questions:

1. The judiciary's latest remarks have been met with amusement. What would the reactions have been, had the gender roles had been reversed, and the woman asked to 'obey her husband'?

2. Is the judiciary pro-woman, sometimes bizarrely so?

These are the responses from the other side of the gender divide.

SHE'S ALWAYS A WOMAN TO ME ... The judiciary has, in the past, been quite pro-woman (though a little more serious)

In 2007, the Rajasthan High Court ruled that a man can't sue his adulterous wife – but he can sue her lover for violating his 'proprietary rights' over his wife

Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that a long livein relationship is as good as a marriage, unless proven otherwise. In 2009, it also ruled that the dowry law would apply to live-ins.

Last year, the SC also ruled that no one can force a woman who 'seems promiscuous in her sexual behaviour' into a sexual relationship, or rape her.

In 1997, the court recognised sexual harassment as a punishable crime. It was legally defined as 'an unwelcome sexual gesture or behaviour...', inspiring confidence in working women ( with inputs from Nikhila Pant, Aparajita Mukherjee and Piyali Dasgupta )





'Men, be careful about signing contracts !' 1. For a bench of judges to say such a thing is ridiculous. It trivialises the whole issue and the judicial process. We might only call the man 'poor guy' in this case and have it end there, but if a woman had been at the receiving end of such a statement, many people would have raised their voices against it. But it's not a sign of gender discrimination. Women have been subjected to domestic violence and hence, such a comment would ring alarm bells. 2. Society and its norms are against women,and hence,it's only good that the law is increasingly in favour of women. It's sending out a strong message about women's empowerment.A word of caution for liberal men like me – be careful while singing any contract! SUDHIR MISHRA, filmmaker



'I don't think anyone took it seriously' 1. I think the reactions would have been, 'How dare he?' 'This is gender discrimination' – all this would've been hurled at the judge. In today's politically correct society, women can get away with – if not murder – almost anything. However, I think the judge made a humorous comment and I think all the readers had a good laugh. I don't think anyone took it seriously. 2. I think they're bending over backwards to correct injustice to women over the last 2000 years, and that's why there are reservations for the backward classes. In a democracy, everyone should be treated as equal, but democracy also demands that everyone who's been discriminated against in the past should in some way get an advantageous position. Not forever, though – I think the reservations have gone on far too long – but to a certain extent, I do think that there should be some kind of compensatory factor for people who've been discriminated against earlier. ALYQUE PADAMSEE, adman



'Men should be petrified !' 1. Of course, there would've been fireworks if it were the woman in his place! If you go to the root of it, there has to be some sort of injustice that women are facing because of which feminist organisations make a noise. I agree that sometimes these organisations and even society goes overboard in protecting women's rights, but these things will get corrected eventually. Right now, we need to empower women and if there is some benefit of doubt that we might need to give women, it's all cool. 2. I would like the judiciary to be moreprowomen. For so many years, we have suppressed women. Now, if we're passing judgements to help them out, we should go the whole nine yards and be soprowomen that men should be scared of exploiting them." PRASOON JOSHI, lyricist & adman



'There's nothing wrong with wives being asked to listen to their husbands' 1. Why not? There's nothing wrong with wives being asked to listen to their husbands. In India, the average percentage of working women is lower than that of housewives. Indian women are good homemakers.The Indian society is a male-dominant society. At the same time, the relationship should be well balanced and men should listen to what women say. 2. I don't know about that, but women should not misuse it… RAJEEV KHANDELWAL, actor



'Waise bhi, isse kya hone wala hai ?' 1. The judges' statement reflects their own frustrations. Had such a thing been said to a woman, many from 'women's rights commissions' would've asked, 'Johhusband kahega vo hum kyun karein?' Just because it's been said to a man, we're taking it in jest. 2. There is absolutely no problem if the laws are tilting in favour of women. Waise bhi isse kya hone wala hai? Law toh bahut kuch kehta hai – aged parents ke saath aise behave kijiye, women ke saath aise kijiye. Many abide by it but a large number of people ignore it. Passing laws will not bring about social change. The indoctrination of orthodoxy will have to go if we want to remove the bias. PRAKASH JHA, filmmaker

Skyrocketing Indian Divorce rates ( metros have 40% divorce rates )

No longer whispered blasphemies...

Marital spats, separations and divorces are no longer the preserve of urban couples. Small towns and rural areas are also notching up an increasing number of marital break-ups, says Vimla Patil

Not so long ago, the words divorce, judicial separation and alimony were part of the elite dictionary of urban, educated couples — and then too, they were 'whispered blasphemies' which made rare appearances in Indian society. Today's young generation has changed the very context of these words. They have successfully added these words to their everyday vocabulary and taken away their dark, sombre connotation altogether. Today, young men and women in cities bounce around these words casually and opt for a marital breakup or a couple crack-up without any hang-ups, regret or family interference. What's more, with the forays of education, the huge footprint of the media, rising expectations of a higher lifestyle and concepts of individual freedom, divorces, separations and alimony battles have become a common occurrence in small towns and rural areas of India as well.

"The very definition of marriage has changed for young Indians because they are a unique generation in the history of demographics in the world," says Peter Harvey, an American sociologist who specialises in India studies, "Never before has any nation — as large as India — had such a huge number of under 35 citizens (700 million!) experiencing the historic changes of a fast growing economy as is seen in India. In spite of the clear dividing line between the haves and the have-nots as well as the traditional and religious beliefs of small town-rural India, this generation is equipped to take decisions on its own because the economy has brought them huge opportunities to change their destiny."

Much more freedom

Many national surveys have proved that this generation of young men and women has changed beyond recognition. More than 30 per cent of small town-rural young people believe that if a marriage bad, it can be broken amicably. Surprisingly, almost 20 per cent young men believe that pre-marital sex is acceptable though only 7 per cent of women vote for it! However, with their dramatically changed lifestyle dreams, affluence and personal space, most young Indians still value their families and believe in holding them together. "With more educational and career opportunities opening up in non metro and rural areas, young men and women have opportunities to mix and share activities," says Asha Tawde, a research at the SNDT University for women, "There is much more freedom between the sexes in schools, colleges and workplaces. Young people travel more for study and work and are more likely to marry for love — albeit with support from their families. But equally, they are frank enough to admit that a marriage or relationship has failed and call if off rather than suffer in silence because of social taboos and traditions."

"Divorces have been rising in small towns significantly," says K K Patadia, a well-known lawyer, "There are so many cases of divorce or separation today that the Government of India has created Crime Against Women Cells and Matrimonial Courts in many non-metro cities too."

"What most people would find hard to believe is that in small towns and fast developing rural areas, women are beginning to be financial independent and find the guts to walk out of bad marriages and live their lives on their own terms — even taking responsibility of their children as single mothers. Indian society — particularly the young generation — is in a state of flux as never before and its concept of permanence in relationships has taken a complete U-turn."

Economics of the Indian family

"The economics in an Indian family has also changed beyond recognition," says Nanda Gaud, a professor of economics, "Figures say that metro cities in India have a divorce rate of 30 to 40 per cent and in the small towns and rural areas, it is growing at a fast pace because of identical reasons like extra-marital affairs, mental or physical violence, breakdown of relations, wonky laws which bring no solace to either party or sheer incompatibility." Yet another researcher of the marriage scene in India, Indu Jahagirdar, says, "Gender roles have changed very fast in the new generation even in small towns. The advent of technology and appliances into homes, have made women's work in the home lighter and created time and space for them to earn independently. More important, easy access to the contraceptive pill has given women the control over their own sexuality and reproductive ability. "

The growing strength of women's groups has created an awareness of marital rights. They know they can seek help in cases of bigamy, adultery, desertion, cruelty, impotency and other legal grounds on which divorces and separations are granted. They are more willing to take the chance of building a new life for themselves. In other words, divorce no longer puts the final seal of 'ostracisation' on a woman's life.
 

Renuka gets (minus 1) out of 10 for the role in WCD in last 4 years

Renuka Chowdhury, 54 MoS (Independent Charge) for Women & child Development

Result: -1/10

New Delhi:

Renuka Chowdhury, 54 MoS (Independent Charge) for Women & child Development

Result: -1/10

She was given independent charge of the Women and Child Development Ministry in 2006 after WCD, earlier under the Human Resource Development Ministry, was made a separate ministry. After three years, there is no marked difference in the condition of women and children in the country.

Her brief

In its manifesto in 2004, the Congress said that a nutritious mid-day cooked meal scheme will be introduced in primary and secondary schools across the country and the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) will be universalised to provide for a functional anganwadi in every settlement and full coverage for children below the age of six. Chowdhury was also expected to reduce incidences of maternal and child mortality and malnutrition.

Reforms derailed

• In 1997, judicial guidelines were set on protection against sexual harassment at the workplace, but the "high priority bill" is still shuttling between the National Commission for Women (NCW) and WCD.

• Child labour has not been abolished, apart from a few baby steps taken by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), under the WCD Ministry.

• The demand for additional guaranteed financial support from the expenditure finance committee for the ambitious and controversial proposal to give fortified pre-packaged food—instead of hot cooked meals—to poor children as part of the revamp of the ICDS was trashed by the Planning Commission.

OPPORTUNITIES BLOWN

• The UPA government dropped attempts to strengthen the anti-Sati law, more than 20 years after it was first enacted. The proposed law was expected to increase prison terms for those committing as well as glorifying the practice.

• After the Nithari incident, Chowdhury stressed on the need for a database of missing children. Till date, the NCPCR is still juggling to get the figures.

• Proposed to the Home Ministry that it grant amnesty to women prisoners. A year after, the issue remains untouched.

• Once talked of taking up the issue of dumped NRI wives but there has hardly been any step forward in the direction.

• State child commissions were supposed to be set up. A Bill was passed in Parliament in 2006, but other than in Delhi and Kerala, the commissions haven't been set up.

What was she thinking?

After the Mangalore pub attack by the Sri Ram Sene, where young women were attacked in an alleged incident of moral policing, she championed the cause of progressive city youth by calling for a "Pub Bharo" campaign and claimed that Mangalore had been "talibanised".

'Renuka's Loss, Our Gain'

'Renuka's Loss, Our Gain'








Ex-Union minister Renuka Chaudhary's election defeat is being celebrated by a group of men who have been demanding the abolition of the controversial Domestic Violence Act. They are happy that with Chaudhury's ouster as the women and child development minister, the act may be done away with

Former Union minister Renuka Chaudhary lost the Lok Sabha elections from Khammam constituency in Andhra Pradesh.

The winner, Nama Nageshwara Rao of the Telugu Desam Party, is celebrating. But Swarup Sarkar of Delhi is celebrating more.



The law will stay: Renuka Chaudhary

The reason: Sarkar is the Delhi coordinator of Save Family Foundation (SFF), a group that has been demanding the abolition of the controversial Domestic Violence Act (DV Act) that they allege is pro-women and is often abused in cases of marital discord.

The group holds Chaudhary responsible for introducing and supporting the DV Act and Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

"Renuka is among the people who introduced the draconian Section 498-A of IPC and the Domestic Violence Act. These laws have become a tool to harass married men by giving unlimited benefits to wives," said Sarkar.

The SFF is celebrating the former woman and child development minister's defeat with crackers, sweets and congratulatory messages. "I received almost 50-60 messages on the day of counting.

People from all over the country were celebrating Renuka Chaudhary's loss. Later on, we forwarded the congratulatory emails to the official mail address of the Women and Child Development Ministry," said Sarkar.

Sarkar and SFF have been running a campaign against the DV Act and Section 498-A, demanding the creation of a Men Welfare Ministry on the lines of the one for women.

"Every year, lakhs of men throughout the country lose their reputation, job and almost everything because their wives lodge complaints against them under these laws.

Not just the men but their mothers, sisters and other family members are harassed under false complaints of dowry and ill treatment by in-laws," said Sarkar.

SFF and Sarkar had met Chaudhary before the elections regarding their demands but after being denied any help, the group started a campaign against the former minister through emails, SMSes and blogs.

The campaign also targeted Congress leader Margaret Alva, who the SFF claims, was the brain behind Section 498-A when it was introduced in 1983.

MiD DAY tried contacting both Chaudhary and Alva for their reactions. While Alva was not available on her landline phone numbers, Renuka in an irritated tone accepted that she knew about SFF.

"I know about their celebrations. It's a democratic country and let him celebrate. But I don't think it is worth celebrating," Chaudhary said.

When asked about the SFF's demand to abolish the DV Act and amend Section 498-A, she came up with a big no.

"The law cannot be changed. It is there to save women who are harassed by their in-laws. I don't think there is any strength in their demand," Chaudhary said.

What the laws say

Section 498-A, IPC, provides wives with the right to move court against any act of cruelty for dowry.

The DV Act covers not only wives and live-in-partners, but also sisters, mothers, mothers-in-law or any other female relative living with a violent man, who can be jailed for a year for beating, threatening and even shouting at them.

While the DV Act provides yet another provision for a woman with ulterior motives to initiate criminal proceedings against the husband, a major loophole in the Act is its Section 14(5).

The section reads that the respondents shall not be allowed to plead any counter justification for the alleged act of domestic violence, a clear flouting of Human Rights.

शांति चाहिए तो पत्नी की सुनो-कोर्ट


शांति चाहिए तो पत्नी की सुनो-कोर्ट
यदि आपको वैवाहिक जीवन में शांति चाहिए तो वही करो जो पत्नी कहे। यह वैवाहिक सलाहकार द्वारा दी गई कोई सामान्य सलाह नहीं है बल्कि यह बात शीर्ष न्यायालय ने कही है।

न्यायमूर्ति मार्कंडेय काटजू और दीपक वर्मा की अवकाश पीठ ने कहा बीबी जो बोलती है वो सुनो अन्यथा आपके लिए समस्या खड़ी हो जाएगी क्योंकि यदि आपने उसकी बात नहीं सुनी तो आपको नतीजे भुगतने पड़ेंगे।

पीठ ने हिन्दी में हलके-फुलके अंदाज में कहा कि हम सब भोगी (भुक्तभोगी) हैं। उच्चतम न्यायालय ने कहा कि पति को पत्नी का सुझाव स्वीकार करना ही होता है भले ही उसका कोई मतलब हो या नहीं।

पीठ ने फिर कहा कि यदि आपकी पत्नी कहती है सिर उधर घुमाओ तो उधर सिर घुमा लो। यदि वह कहती है कि इधर सिर घुमाओ तो इधर सिर घुमा लो। अन्यथा आपके लिए मुसीबत हो सकती है।

उच्चतम न्यायालय ने यह दिलचस्प सुझाव आज एक वैवाहिक विवाद से जुड़े मामले की सुनवाई के दौरान दिया। इसमें वायुसेना के अधिकारी दीपक कुमार ने अपनी अलग रह रही पत्नी मनीषा पर उसे (दीपक कुमार को) तथा उसके परिजनों को अप्राकृतिक यौन संबंध सहित विभिन्न आपराधिक मामलों में फँसाने का आरोप लगाया है।

My one-in-a-million twin baby boys have two different fathers

My one-in-a-million twin baby boys have two different fathers

A mother's fling has resulted in her bearing twins – by different fathers.

Eleven-month-old Justin and Jordan Washington may have arrived in the world within just seven minutes of each other, but in an amazing twist of fate, they are half brothers.

Each has a different dad because their mother Mia Washington, had an affair and conceived two babies by different men at the same time.

Mummy's boy: Mia Washington with baby Justin, who is not the biological child of her partner James Harrison

Mummy's boy: Mia Washington with baby Justin, whose twin brother Jordan has a different father. The chance of twins having different biological fathers is one in a million

Bombshell: The new mother began to investigate after noticing her sons had different facial features. Pictured here with Jordan Washington

There is only a one-in-a-million chance of twins having different biological fathers.

The bizarre double conception happened when Mia cheated on her partner James Harrison with another man.

One of the boys is James's son, but the other is fathered by another man, whose identity has not been released.

That's my boy: James Harrison with his biological son Jordan. Despite his partner's infidelity, James has agreed to raise both twins as his own

That's my boy: James Harrison with his biological son Jordan. Despite his partner's infidelity, James has agreed to raise both twins as his own

After learning about her infidelity, James agreed to forgive Mia and raise both twins as his own.

Mia, from Dallas, Texas, said: 'I have twins who have different dads.

'Out of all the people in America and all the people in the world, this had to happen to me.'

The truth came out when Mia visited Clear Diagnostics DNA Lab after noticing the twins have different facial features.

A paternity test confirmed her fears - it showed there was only a 0.001 chance that Justin and Jordan have the same father.

Authorities say the result is so rare that there are only a handful of known cases across the globe.

'It's very crazy, most people don't believe it can happen but it really can,' said Genny Thibodeaux, from Clear Diagnostics DNA Lab.

According to doctors, if a woman has more than one sexual partner while she is ovulating, there's a miniscule chance that different sperm cells can fertilise two separate eggs.

Dr Chris Dreiling, from the Paediatric Association of Dallas, told Fox News: 'Because sperm cells take a while to travel and eggs take a while to travel there can be an overlap.'

We are family: The couple and their one-in-a-million twins boys - who are soon to be joined by another sibling

We are family: The couple and their twin boys - who are soon to be joined by another sibling

The couple is now coping with the aftermath of the DNA bombshell and plan to tell the twins when they're old enough to understand.

Mia added: 'When they opened the envelope and delivered the news they told me there was zero chance that James was Justin's father.

'My jaw dropped open.

'It was the weirdest thing to think that two little babies could have grown in my stomach together and been born seven minutes apart but yet have different fathers.

'I had never heard of it happening anywhere else in the world and literally had thought it would have been impossible.

'James said he would stay because he loved me and raise both of the twins as his own.

'I felt very wary at first, I kept thinking he'd try but then find out he couldn't cope with it and leave us after all.

'But everyday I'm thankful because the DNA result hasn't changed the way we are as a family. James is a good man; he's a great father and genuinely loves both of the twins.

'When they are old enough to know the truth about their different fathers I will tell them. Right now they are so young they don't know anything and they don't need to know.

'As far as I'm concerned, James is the father of both boys because he's the one there every morning when they get up and every night when they go to sleep.

'Some people may not agree with what I've done in the past but I have accepted my mistake and taken responsibility for it.

'If when he is older Justin wants to meet his real dad then that's his decision.

'Everyone around us has been shocked by the miracle of them having been conceived separately but born together.

'It's hard for me to wrap my head around it but those are the facts.

'Five months ago we found out that I was pregnant again and our new baby is due to arrive in the autumn.

'Right now I'm fully committed to taking care of my family and making sure their needs are met. I can guarantee there'll be no questions raised this time around!

'I'd advise other women to be careful about starting an affair - look what happened to me. Think hard about the consequences first, because the most bizarre things can happen when you least expect it!'

James said: 'It's a day by day thing.

'It's going to take time to build up trust between us like we had. Mia immediately came clean about her mistake and says she takes full responsibility for her actions.'

Stop our women from misusing the law

Harassed men wrote to Pune Mirror in response to yesterday's front page report about a man's battle against his cruel wife

Pune Mirror front page report dated May 15

Pune Mirror front page report dated May 15

  • This is their (wives) nature and their thinking process. That is how they put husbands in the wrong by using Section 498 (A) and other such laws which are designed in favour of wives and not husbands.

    Even the police favour the ladies and extract money as do advocates for the sake of earning money to support the women who are their clients while knowing all along that they are in the wrong. They go on believing fabricated sob stories.

    This is valid only for those few such wives as mentioned above and not all. I hope this letter gets printed as a mark of support to Mahesh Kalge and other unfortunate husbands like him.

    — Ramesh Keswani

  • I am a member of this group for the last nine months and we have been reading all issues related to misuse of anti-dowry laws and other topics.

    We are doing a great job by helping those of our friends who have suffered a lot from their marriages. I suggest that we ask the government to set up a commision to review the laws which were made a long time ago when women were called abala naari.

    But times have changed since then and women are using these laws to harass innocent men. Even the NCW and Kiran Bedi are always trying to portray women as being always the innocent party. I would like feedback on this point, which I feel is a valid one.

    — Amol Sharma
  • I read your article on the misuse of Section 498 (A) by women to harass their husbands. I have been struggling to get access to my only son since 2004.

    He is seven years old and inspite of Family Court orders in my favour, my wife is still denying me access to him.

    I would like to meet up with you and share not only my plight but also the agony of thousands of fathers who are facing a similar situation, throughout this country. Looking forward to your
    positive response.

    — Deepak Tiwari
  • Dear Sir/Madam, I work as an advocate at Pune Bar Association. I am also sufferring from a similar issue in my life. I want to become a member of SIFF and help out people who are suffering from such problems.

Men gang up to take on Section 498A missuse


This is Mahesh Kalge, a techie. He and his folks were charged for his wife’s suicide. The only thing is, his wife is alive and kicking. He says she misused the law to torture him (*That’s the Domestic Violence Act)












Kalge tells his story

We were to shift to a new flat in Chinchwad. My wife was angry because my parents were to stay with us. On Dec 28, 2007, she drank 'poison' and informed my mother. My mother took her to Lokmanya Hospital. After she was cured, my mother informed her family. They then came with 60 people, abused us and filed a case against us under Section 498 (A). The next day, when we applied for bail, the police slapped a case of suicide abetment. We were put in jail for 27 days, while my wife went to live with her parents taking 37 tolas of gold and my infant son. In Nov '08, a chargesheet was filed against us. Only then I knew she was alive. Since then I have been involved with Save Family."

Mahesh Kalge (30), a techie from Chinchwad, was arrested along with his parents in December '07 for their alleged involvement in abetting the suicide of his estranged wife.

Kalge's wife had left their house, accusing him and his family of harassing her. As a result they had to spend several days in jail. He is now taking on the law that makes villians out of even good men — and there are many like him.

Who wronged whom
Recalling the agony, Mahesh says, "We were about to shift to a new flat. My wife was angry as my parents were to stay with us.

On December 28, '07, she gulped poison and immediately informed my mother. My mother promptly took her to Lokmanya Hospital where she was admitted and cured."

He adds, "After she recovered, my mother informed her parents about the incident. That evening, they arrived with 50-60 people, abused and manhandled my parents, my married sister and me.

Then they filed a case against us under Indian Penal Code section 498 (A) and we were arrested. The next day, when we applied for bail, the police slapped us with IPC section 306 for abetting suicide.

We languished in jail for 27 days while my wife went to live with her parents taking 37 tolas of gold and other belongings from my house. That was the last time I saw my son. He was five months old."

"In November '08, a chargesheet was filed against us. Then I realised she was still alive, living with her parents. I started looking for information on misuse of laws and came to know about SFII.

I've been associated with them ever since. Although I am not a lawyer, I know most laws protecting women now. In fact, the police should have filed a case for attempted suicide against my wife but she got away with it and we suffered."

Mission save the family





According to the law

Article 498A of the IPC states that if a husband or any of his relatives subject the wife to cruelty which could drive her to commit suicide, seriously harm her physically or mentally in any way or unlawfully demand any
property or money from her, they are liable to be imprisoned for upto three years and also may be liable to pay a fine.


Today Mahesh is a member of Save Family, a subsidiary of the Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF), and vehemently promotes that various provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, under the relevant provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, the Special Marriages Act and Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 are being used by women to harass men.

To support his argument, he quotes the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report, "The acts once promulgated to protect women are now taking their toll on men.

While 52,483 married men committed suicide , in '05, across the country in '06 it went up to 55,452. The number of married women committing suicide was 28,188 in '05 and 29,869 in '07."

"NCRB's findings reveal unscrupulous women who attack husbands and in-laws with frivolous dowry torture complaints is a chief causes of suicides among married men. Section 498 (A) of the IPC has been handy for women to torture their husbands and in-laws."

Women are not abusers
Of course, womens' organisations refuse to buy his argument. Julia George, a lawyer and nun associated with the Pune's Stree Wani says, "The law is never misused. Women do not usually take such drastic measures."

Dr Neelam Gorhe, founder, Stree Adhar Kendra, says, "Most women never misuse laws. There may be few cases where they have acted on the wrong advice of lawyers and resorted to such tactics, but most harassment cases are real. If conviction rates in such cases is as low as 10 per cent, it is because they aren't investigated well."

SIFF-ting through issues
But Mahesh refuses to accept this. "We are not against laws that protect women. We are against women who misuse them. We are specifically fighting against the abuse of old, sick people and kids.

We are fighting against wives who force men to disown parents and live as per their wishes or force in-laws on their husbands.

We're trying to create awareness of 'legal terrorism' going on in the name of women's empowerment. We are trying to protect the Indian family system from the onslaught of greedy and unscrupulous women," he says.

"In Pune, SIFF has successfully executed mass awareness campaigns by staging dharnas and rallies to encourage victims to come forward and protest against the misuse of laws by women.

We hold counselling sessions, run a toll-free helpline for harassed men and offer advice online. We are working constructively," he says.

Mahesh accuses the cops of being high-handed when acting on harassment complaints by women. "The law is partial to begin with. To make matters worse, police do not spare senior citizens alleged to be tormentors.

They are detained, arrested and put in jail on the basis of the complainant's word. Proper investigations don't take place and at times there are attempts to misrepresent the case to the judiciary," he says.

The law's fair
But Gorhe denies the law is partial. She insists, "Laws are not made in a hurry. All aspects are considered while drafting bills and promulgating them.

Laws are the pillar of the Indian Constitution. We never misrepresent cases. All we do is encourage distressed women to take a stand and help them.

If a woman rightfully demands money for her sustenance, how can it be an abuse of the law? This is nothing but propaganda by men who have trouble with the law," she fumes.

Julia George feels such cases must be handled with care. "Even I avoid asking women to file cases under the IPC which may result in widening the rift. Normally women too are sensitive towards their spouses and in-laws and are reluctant to lodge criminal cases.

To file a criminal case, a woman has to struggle a lot and convince police officials. I feel the Domestic Violence Act is the best tool to deal with such cases. It leaves open the possibility for a reunion," she says.

Introducton

Welcome!!
Pune SIFF is a part of the Save Indian Family Foundation of India and the Rakshak (www.498a.org) of USA (for NRIs). This is a group which has been fighting against the misuse of the Draconian Pro Women (Anti-Men) laws constituted in India. We do not only fight against the misuse of IPC Sections like 498a(anti dowry harrassment) or the DV Avt (Domestic Violence Act), but we also are seeking to change the implementation methodology of these laws.

Pune SIFF has successfully executed mass awareness campaigns like Dharnas and Rallies to make more and more victims of the misuse of the stated laws by their wives and in laws, to come out in the open and raise voice against the cruelties suffered by them at the hands of their wives.

More and More senior citizens are put behimd bars on the mere complain of a daughter-in-law, without proper investigations.

498a and DV have clearly become the tools for extortion and mental cruelty, by the educated urban woman.

We need to stop this misuse and make ammendments in the implementation of these laws. We need to save the lives and careers of the thousands of innocent husbands and their families who have either become victims or are about to.Come and Join the SIFF PUNE group and trigger a revolution
