Domestic Violence Law Explained
by Sarabjeet Singh on Nov 02, 2006 10:26 AM

I am really surprised to see that this article on domestic law only covers the abuse and harassment only on women's. May i know what law is there for men who also suffer the emotional and verbal abuse by womens or their relatives. I personally feel that equal rights and laws should be conferred for both the sexes and not for the womens alone as it is being widely misused by the fairer sex for fulfilling their personal desires and spoiling a healthy and sacred family relation by following the guidelines from "Kabhie saas...., Kahani ghar..., kasauti.." daily TV soaps. Womens character in those serials are not providing any higher status or position to the indian feminine character, rather spoiling the image of indian women who in reality is strong, full of faith and emotions. I strongly recommend same laws should address the problems of both the sexes at domestic front rather than tagging it only for womens.
