The author clearly has not done her own research in validating whether 498a is misused or not. “The 2017 ruling made a reference to four cases in which “misuse of the provision is judicially acknowledged.” However, the trail of evidence that the law is misused does not go far.” The author’s article also does not go far in showing that the law is not misused and that every case which has been filed has ample evidence to prove conviction. If you are not happy with current set of laws, advocate for bringing back the panchayat raj instead of following draconian Colonial era laws designed to break the family system.
How will empirical data be collected when the entire data collection process is flawed at the NCRB level and is very feminist in nature and execution. ALL unnatural deaths deaths of women ( even with snake bite) is classified as Dowry deaths and ALL deaths of married men ( even as they write suicide nites blaming abuse by wives) is classified as due to “Family issues”. There needs to be a separate section of measuring suicides of men due to spousal abuse. In the same way the NCRB purposely does not measure false cases in 498a and Rape cases despite knowing well than over 98% cases are false and malafide. Also unlike the west India does not have a very good mechanism to sue false complainants or convict them of perjury. Where men have sued the women have been filed at most Rs 500( $6.50) . Is this a credible deterrent for filing a false rape case the maximum punishment for which is death. India urgently needs its feminist skewed data collection process to be changed to collect data on abuse of men in a fair and transparent manner. 498a and DV act were never meant to punish , they are used negotiating mechanisms to get better settlement in divorces and they are doing this job in a flawless manner.
