Legal Scandal

Anti-dowry law (498A) has given rise to a legal scandal.

A bride marries the groom in court or in the presence of only a handful of her relatives. Within a few months after the marriage, the wife leaves the company of her husband and files anti-dowry law (498A) against her husband and his relatives. Since the husband has never been to courts, he agrees to pay his so-called wife a few lakhs of rupees to save himself and his relatives the harassment.

 

The wife marches on to harass her next victim, who is her next husband. How baseless these wives are!

Steps HR is taking to protect employees and improve productivity

Now-a-days, the HR of many companies in India is facing a very serious problem. Loss of productivity because of misuse of anti-dowry and domestic violence laws. Even Azim Premji , the respected CEO of Wipro, couldn't escape one of such laws. 498a is one such law and has been called Legal Terrorism by Supreme Court of India.
 
When an employee becomes victim of such a law, he has to take leave that often lasts a month or so to protect himself and his relatives. For instance, recently Deepak Verma (name changed), a employee of Oracle Bangalore, had to take a leave of more than 1.5 months to protect himself against the misuse of the law. This results in a heavy loss of productivity to the company and harassment to the employee.
 
HR department of many companies in India have already started sensitizing their employees against the misuse of laws. To help their affected employees, they have come up with an agressive plan, which include:
 
1)  directing their employees to join Save Indian Family, a strong self-help group by software professionals, CAs, businessmen, etc that also councels the victims and their families. The URL of the join the yahoogroup is  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/saveindianfamily/
 
2) providing the all-india helpline number 09243473794 (24 Hours)
 
3) asking the employees to sign an online PIL ( http://mynation.net/pil/pil.php ) against the misuse
 
4) asking the victims and potential victims to visit http://www.498a.org/faq.htm
 
5) forwarding this and any related info to their employees, HR groups and societies.

 

6) assuring their employees that they will not be terminated unless they are convicted.

Illegal arrests

You tell a legal person half the story, s/he will tell you the later half. The real problem is that even though judiciary acknowledges misuse of 498a like an often-repeated script of an old hindi movie, no action has been taken to stop the misuse.

 

Even if the police know that a case is false, the accused people have to run for anticipatory bail. What we need is a judgement/ an amendment that will stop the police from harassing the innocents.

 

We don't want the police to be an accomplice in the injustice against a husband and his relatives.

Stop calling ILLEGAL ARRESTS legal.

 

The law that defines illegal arrests should be broadened in scope to include illegal arrests in the context of 498a.

Men's life not even worth Rs.5/-

If u bought a soap for Rs.5/- and found that quality is not commensurate with the amount spent on it, you can seek remedy in consumer rights court. But if you are a victim of your wife's false allegations, you can not file a case.

If you lost your wallet, you can file a case, but if you lost your life because of your wife's false 498a against you, you are totally helpless.

Men's life is worst than a Rs.5/- soap and a wallet.

SC called misuse of 498a Legal Terrorism (19/7/2005)

Am I marrying the right girl?

Marriage is a game more of intelligence than of emotions.

1) If the girl's father is hen-pecked (that is, has no say in her family and/ or bears little or no relation with his own parents), never marry the girl.

 

2) Always have a gap of 5-6 months between the day you meet her first and the day of your engagement. Meet her atleast 10 times before taking a plunge.

 

3) The girl's family values play much more significant role than her education level.

 

4) If the girls' parents insist for an early marriage, rest assured there is some problem.

 

5) Never marry in hurry, Just because you have been searching for partner for past 3-4 years should not become a cause for concern. It's better late than suffer from anti-dowry (498A) and other matrimonial/ family laws.

 

6) If during background check, somebody pointed out something negative about the girl, take it seriously. Remember that people normally don't point out trivial deficiencies.

 

7) Dont trust girl's or your relatives blindly, no matter how close they are. Do your own background check.

 

8) Last and very important, always trust the instinct of your parents.They are seasoned and see much more than you can. Even small details seen by your old parents, which may seem very trivial to you, can be very important.

 

She is toxic if she
1) has invited very few relatives on her marriage
2) has excessively enquired about your financial status and spendings
3) gave you an indication that she may not want to live with your parents
4) is excessively attached with her family but do not show an equivalent degree of attachment with your parents
 
If you see rule no 1 in play on the day of your marriage, simply walk out of the mandap. No second thoughts.
