New Bill by default assumes man to be guilty or does it have guts to punish a women. Many age old parents are abandoned because of these nagins. But Women's cell never care for age old people and they support women(daughter-in-law) and ask her husband to abandon their parents. If she is not made happy then husband and his parents has to go to jail without investigation by false dowry harassment case (498A) and DV laws. Will these women be punished?

Dear Sanjay,
LOL! Let me rephrase what you are saying : You are saying that your wife would send you to Jail in dowry case unless you take care of her parents and abandon your parents!!
What kind of marriage is that!
"If you love something set it free. If it comes back to you, it was yours. Otherwise It never was!"

I see .. Isn't it better to divorce rather than being in a loveless marriage?!
I think When ever there is marriage with out love there will be love without marriage.
You do raise an interesting (and I must say sometimes true) point.
Women have been greatly (not completely) responsible for ill treatment given to other women.
Following is MOSTLY true: Saas will place big demand for dowry on potential Bahu's family. And if the dowry is not "good" then Bahu will be targeted whenever she can be... Saas does not like to see Bahu taking over son's life and will harbor ill will towards her. Bahu will not pay due respect to Saas and will try to demean her whenever she can... Maa will not give her Beti same treatment at home and will not encourage her to be independent...
Women need to change that too.
And of course, dowry laws should not be abused as they were meant to protect (which is still needed) women.
