I'm one of the victim of this law
Hi, I am one of the innocent victim of gender inequality in India. I live in Canada and got married to a girl in India. She came to Canada and things did not work out well. She went back. After going back, she filed police complaints that I was demanding dowry of hugh amount which was absolutely false. It was a simple case where we both could not get along but the law was misused to harass me. I spent huge amount of money in resolving the case which was totally baseless. The Indian law simply puts anyone, I repeat anyone, who is named in the police report behind bars without any questions or case hearing. How does a decent person feel when he or she is put behind bars. This can include anyone, does not matter what age, even if they are 100 years old. I don't know what can be done to raise the voice and concerns of innocent husbands. A friend of mine has similar story. The girl literally tortured everyone in the house including husband, father and mother-in-law. They were scared that if they protested to the torture, she may file a police complaint. He wants divorce from her but again, is scared to file for it as the law will not support or even listen to him. No where there was any torture or dowry demand from the in-laws or husband.
