The passing of the law means that the political system of India has realised the shares of women in improvement of the country;the impact of the law will be focussed gradually.

Please go to court some day to see how old parents of men there sisters even there husbands have to be there,harrassed blackmailed,tortured by false allegations,hugely inflated lists of istri dhan etc. by so called women who will be bringing improvement in our country.
One major question remains to be answered in the article "Domestic Violence Act Explained", which is:
"How does Government ensure that the law is not misused as a weapon of legal blackmail and extorsion?"
As this question is not answered, I think Indira Jaisingh article is incomplete. Would she be kind enough to answer the above question? I think, only after satisfactorily answering this question, would Indira Jaisingh's article make any sense!
I agree with you on There are numerous instances where a male was harrassed by his spouse and in laws. And, this law will give such people another way to harrass their husbands. I think, this law should be changed to accomodate such cases too
I have seen cases too, and they are on the rise, women abusing awareness.
I think, this law should not be gender based. There are numerous instances where a male was harrassed by his spouse and in laws. And, this law will give such people another way to harrass their husbands. I think, this law should be changed to accomodate such cases too
So are you referring to the aggrieved one in reality or fake/pretender finding ways to claim/abuse the law and steal/grab husband's hard-earned money? If the female is rightly aggrieved, she should be supported. but what if otherwise?
Also, on one hand you talk about women equality and right to work, on ther hand you want to grab 1/2 of husband's hard-earned money??..on what basis and on what right? do u deserve to get money for free? Do you carry that Xtra qualities than normal human beings that you can demand money for breaking relationships? What about the commitment towards each other? that's the basis for the sacred institution of marriage?

what about the security of man and his family? how can u make sure that it cannot be misused? u girls should also think about men it's not just u and another girl....men needs rights and laws too to defend himself and his family from very aggressive and money minded girls,from girls with extra-martial affairs etc.
all this law for woman is nice but what happen to woman who wants to fight but is scared because she has no money everything is in husbands name and he is good with words? why should a woman leave in an organisation when she is so used to stay comfortably from her fathers house to her husbands house? she takes nonsence from her husband because she has nowere to go,and he can be very dominating he can buy evidence with his money.what do such woman do? who are going thro domanstice volence but cant fight because of lawyers fees and for the roof on her head.. if the family supports her then the husband will not support the family,so with the victim everyone else also suffers in silence... we should have a law saying that from the day the girl gets married she automatically owns half of husbands assets and she should also have ppf and pension and all the insurence like medical and life insurence,so when she grows old she is not dependent on her husband or children for money or house,children should not be able to thro woman out and take advantage of her old age, by putting her in old age home. the woman has to feel secure all her life,like the family feels secure by her takeing care.

why woman lodges so many false fir (section 498a) supreme court defined it as "legal terrorism" figures are clear almost 70 to 80% are false cases.i mean if a girl can sent the husband and his whole family(that inculdes another women too) to the jail by the means of false fir then how can u think that it won't be misused like 498a? within next few years u will find that one FAMILY in ur's 'KHANDAN" is effected by this and then u will understand.
The fact - that this law has been enacted - itself is a proof that there is somebody in this country to think of women. But there can never ever be any law in favour of men, in spite of all the difficulties they face with women. This law conveys an impression that only women are subjected to domestic violence, but not men. Are men always on the wrong side and are women always on the correct side? The anti-dowry act has been misused one million times so far, and I am sure the number of times it has benefitted really deserving people is less. I mean it has been more often misused than correctly used by deserving women. Many unscrupulous women find it extremely convenient to walk down to the police station and complain against her husband and in-laws. Men harass women, but does the reverse not happen? Majorities harass minorities, but does the reverse not happen? I am opposed to any laws or any measures in favor of any particular group such as males, females, religious groups, caste groups, the so-called minorities and the so-called backward classes. Let everyone be equal at least in the eyes of law. All laws in favour of particular groups were misused and will be misused in future.

All women are not are not harrassed and all are not ones who harrass.For those who are harrassed you have made a law whereby you will protect them but what about those who harrass???? You have given them one more tool instead of any mechanism of detterrence for which laws are made.Sir,there should be protection but laws must be fair and not lopsided.
If you say, domestic violence by men on women "is among the most prevalent and among the least reported", then there is one more "violence" which is much more prevalent and much less reported and that is the mental torture inflicted by women on men.
Women may not beat men and they may not physically or sexually abuse men, because they are physically weaker than men. But, they do definitely inflict mental torture on men a lot, and provoke them to retaliate physically.
I do not hesitate even a moment to say that an average Indian woman has far worse character than an average Indian man in all respects. This is true for both educated and uneducated women.
If you say that violence on women by men is among the least reported, then please do not have any doubt that the mental violence on men by women is one million times less reported. Women at least have the freedom to weep and find it very convenient to complain against men and find sympathy from men and other women, but men are not expected to weep and they find it difficult to even express their problems to other men, because they would be ridiculed if they do so.
Respected Sir,The law article on DV has been put clearly on sheet. It is now for all of us to see how this law curbs violence at home and offices too.Earlier women were sandwiched between her duty and right when she had to face violence and abuse at home, now she can ask for her right as she does her duty with out fear.Now the blackmailers have to think twice when they play fool with a girl or womens life.The law has clearly mentioned that both can live happily together with tolerance or pay a price for his default.It is good that neglected children are also brought under this fold as it is parents responsibility to provide for them love and respect if they have brought them into this world.Now they can not wash their hands of their responsibilities.This law can only be practically effective if it is known to all that this society runs on certain rules and responsibilities which has to be abided by one and all.The care takers of law that is the police and the judiciary have also an important role to play for the success of this law.Such law can bring in well being of women into the society which has always been partial to the male sector. Thanking you Shobha nair.
Dear sir, There is ample scope for gross misuse.Antisocials say any Tom , Dick and Harry with an intention to exhort money can easily blackmail any one.This is a big deterent to joint family system.Any law without adequate in built safety mechanism gives room for gross misuse,abuse and it may end up as a failed one.Even private firms may think twice before employ them.In summary,though the law is laudable but it serves little to the women folk..R.NADIMUTHU
