I am surprised..all these men who r so insecure b'coz of this law never rose to the Occassion when WOMEN were being tortured,harrassed 'n insulted for ages..........!! How come they all feel so insecure NOW 'n think women r goin' to take revenge?? After being harrassed for ages women finally get a way out to escape from such miseries 'n ALL u men can think of is UR safety?? Why is that no man ever showed any consideration 'n stand up for some woman being harrassed,insulted,raped,being ripped off of her clothes 'n was forced to march down naked in front of many?? Where were all of U guys then?? Think of this as a rescue for UR SISTERS too who cud' face the same fate. 'n Who F***** cares to have a relationship with such men anyways???If a man harrasses a woman she shud' have every God Damn Right to put him behind bars 'n move on with her life 'n find another man.Don't be scared if women r finally gettin' some voice,be a part of this movement 'n help make our INDIAN society better.Believe me not every woman is mean just like every man is not a rapist. Now I am really proud to be an INDIAN!!It's easy to fight an enemy outside home BUT it takes courage to stand up against ur OWN!!
Either you are too immature or trying to be naive. What men of past generations did...surely wrong...how do you expect us to stand up for their violence when we were not even born in this world?
Either you are exaggerating on women being abused [donkey years ago], or generalizing for the heck of it, or have not been aware of the living of the past 30-40 years.
Why are YOU scared to have an unbiased & genuine law that VALIDATES for EITHER GENDER to be AGGRIEVED or ACCUSED? Don't want to be fair? well then...it proves you are one of them..revenge-oriented!!

Dear Lady(or shd you be called u a libbed woman),
This law is for benifit of your ilk, I think you know the alternate term GOLD DIGGERS, be happy you have the might of a govt.(which is scared to save a rape victim from a FATWA) and whole lot of frustrated harridans (otherwise known as activists)behind you.

true,it needs lots of courage to fight the enemy within and when that enemy is supported illogically t needs more determination and grit to fight back,just think that your brothers wife can file a case against you but u cant,she can file a case against ur mom but ur mom cant,she cant get ur old father ordered to stay out of home for she fears him,rape is bad and ugly and I condemn it but the way this act has been put together,families would be raped emotionally,socially,financially. its not a question of male or female,its a question of family and values,its a question of future of children,its a question of knowing how to handle power.perhaps you dont have a family to think on these lines. of the 39 women i talked to 37 say the law is antiwomen. take down your feminist goggles,think.

Dear Lady, First you should hold your keyboard and correct your language. Is this the way a lady talks. May be you are a spoilt brat and this law is going to help women like you immensely. It is you kind of women who abuse these kinds of open ended laws and not the rural women who are really in need of it. Where your argument is concerned, who do you think social reforms like Raja Rammohun Roy, Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi were. Were they not men who fought for women's rights? Are there any equivalent women reformers of the time who did the same? You are an idiot and a non-rationalistic feminist who want to break a million homes in the garb of fighting for women's rights. What about the mother in law and sister in law who will be penalised intensely if the law is abused. In fact the law is a misnomer. It is better to call it the Pampering of Daughter in law Act (PDA). Today's India would be better if we get rid of three things, namely corrupt politicians, anti-national elements and feminist to the core like you. May God save the country from these contageous elements.

Dear Param,
It is wrong to say that menof today who are not even born are responsible for wrongs done in the past. This laws are clearly being misused. There is no doubt about it. More than 98% of cases are false and done for money only.
will this abuse on men help harassed women? Definitely not. So uncrupolous women are misusing these laws to the detriment of needy and good women. See, in my own case my sister in law has filed a false dowry case and DV law on 18 members of family. She has stayed with us for 12 hours and did not want to say in a joint family and filed these cases for money. One woman is allowed to harass 6 innocent women. Do you think this is fair?
Also, men will rise up against abuse in time and as a collective society women will be in much worse state than ever. All right thinking men and women must ask for punishment if it is proven that the cases filed are false. Why are these feminists afraid?
