How about women harassed by women

Harassed by 'bahu': Saas kills herself
How many of them needs protection?

Is Mother-in-law not a women? Why can'nt government make laws to protect them too?

Ludhiana, May 18
Women committing suicide due to troublesome mothers-in-law is often heard, but an
aged woman of Urban Estate, Dugri, today jumped to death before a running train
allegedly due to harassment from daughter-in-law. The woman claimed in a suicide
note that she could not bear the harassment at the hands of her daughter-in-law and
her relatives any longer and hence was ending her life.
On the basis of the two-page suicide note, filled with heart rending tale of woes of
victim Dilip Gandhi, the Government Railway Police booked her daughter-in-law Sonia
Gandhi, Sonia’s mother Harinder Sethi and sister Chhina Walia for abetting Dilip to
commit suicide under sections 306, 34 of the IPC.
All accused live in Chandigarh. Sonia is the daughter of a retired Superintendent of
Police M.S. Sethi.
Interestingly, the main reason behind the dispute between the family members was
the immigration of Sonia’s husband Gursharan Singh Gandhi to Canada. Sonia and
other accused were allegedly vehemently against Gursharan’s move.
The victim says in the suicide note that Sonia and other accused allegedly opposed
Gursharan’s immigration to such an extent that he was forced to return to India after
spending a few weeks in Canada. He had managed to go abroad after a six-year wait.
Once back home, the in-laws forcibly took his passport and other documents away.
Additional SHO, GRP, Harbans Singh said the woman jumped before the Ludhiana-
Jakhal train around 5:30 am today. The police later recovered the suicide note, which
revealed her identity. He said no arrest had been made so far.
The suicide note revealed that the victim was quite religious. She began the note
offering prayers to Sikh gurus and tendering an apology for ending her life, given to
her by the almighty.
She wrote: “She had no other option as the harassment by the daughter-in-law and
other accused was driving them mad”. She said her son was married to Sonia 10
years ago. They had a daughter from the marriage. Her son managed immigration
after much effort but Sonia always opposed his decision.
When my son finally went to canada, she went to her parent’s house and threatened
to register a case of dowry against us. My son tried his best to cool down things. But he was threatened with such dire consequences that he returned home”.
She further claimed that her son went straight to his in-laws house in Chandigarh
where he was forced to part with the passport. Later, he took a Rs 9,000 per month
job with the Guru Gobind Singh Study Circle.
This money was insufficient for the family and there was no compromise by the
accused. The accused then humiliated her in public by levelling cheap allegations,
which she could not bear and decided to end her life.

Comments:
So much has been said about the misuse of this so called Penal Code 498A and DV law. Ladies have been unnecessarily fully armed to start with.

So basically they have been told..."go get married and then if you don’t want to live with him then you can get him and in-laws arrested and he pays quicker when behind bars." It is as simple as this.

It is an insult to have someone arrested in this way and to place him behind bars and made to negotiate after making him taste the food behind bars. How did Gandhi feel when he was placed behind bars? Have I not said enough?

Look what Peace – UK and other UK guys have been saying for many months under various topix related to this>>>"Indian Penal Code 498A and DV law." The majority of the cases involve people in India. We are not against India. What is being said can help to place the minds thinking once again for these types of misuses.

A lady dropped her clothes in the streets of Rajkot and walked wearing 2 clothes in this wet weather. Why? The whole world saw that. In films for such scenes, they get paid few lakh rupees. I am not saying that she does not have a case. That is up to the court to find out. There are other ways to get the message across. The easiest way is via the misuse of this law which exists. It has minimum risk for the lady but maximum punishment for the husband and in-laws. And she goes for it. Same way the lady does not want to be harassed by the in-laws; the husband and the in-laws also don’t want to be harassed like this by being arrested to start with.

The case is regarded as a criminal case. So what happens in a normal criminal case, where for example, some one breaks into a house and is locked up? Who takes him to the court and who pays the fees to sentence him? Why in these sorts of Penal Code 498A and DV law cases, the man has to bail himself out and later hire a lawyer to prove his innocence? Why call someone a criminal when he is not a criminal? Why the police don’t take him and others named in the case to the court to prove that they are criminals…same as they do in other real criminal cases and lock them up for many years when found guilty? That will be expensive…yes? So now you see how all this has been so nicely worked out! The husband and the in-laws pay.

That question asked by Peace – UK still remains. Will a minister’s son and others in the family be arrested with one single complain from a lady? Will they be placed behind bars and then they bail themselves out to prove that they are not criminals? Will they be arrested like other Indians and NRIs say for example, on a Friday and then told that the offices are closed and so they have to stay inside for the whole weekend?

So basically the law is organised in such away that the government spends as little as possible. The man pays. I am not going to go into the details of the money he ends up paying under the table here and there. NOW WHO IS GOING TO SAY THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN INDIA ON VERY REGULAR BASIS? See the films where such scenes are not censored as they are there to open the people’s eyes. The government lets such scenes go through hoping that the bribery and corruption in the country will go down a bit but then on the other hand they have introduced these one sided laws!

What I am trying to say is that the man and the in-laws do end up paying a lot to put their lives back on track after these false accusations. No compensation is there for them. The lady drops the clothes and says she does not have any money to compensate for the disturbance caused to the husband and the in-laws. And that works. People easily take the side of the lady who drops the clothes. What chances do the husband and the in-laws have? Peace – UK has said that NRIs also have feelings and get hurt. They value their hard earned money and lives also. This is the message for the people in India to do something and the message for the NRIs who think of marrying an Indian lady from India. UK Human

The formless consists of attributes Truth, Righteousness, Equanimity, Love and Non-Violence (also known as The Rules). From which we got our ancestors consisting of hydrogen, oxygen,calcium, carbon etc as mentioned by you also above. During creation there was nothing. He did not go to look for hydrogen and oxygen to make water...if He had done so then it would have only confirmed there was someone before Him.

Once we are able to discard the feeling of this body, what remains is the formless attributes. That is the Bliss stage and we have a feel of that during meditation. Those attributes all together make one powerful Super Human Power. That never dies and so never comes back. It is always there. God never takes birth. The form takes birth.

Religion can be regarded a systematic faith in this Super Human Power called GOD.

WHAT DO THESE RULE BREAKERS FOLLOW?

WHY THEY DONT LIKE DAUGHTERS?

PLEASE DONT BREAK THE RULES USING YOUR MONEY POWER.

AND PLEASE DONT MISUSE THE INDIAN PENAL CODE 498A AND DV LAW EITHER. Peace - UK

“Salats asked to settle dispute out of court

Express News Service
Ahmedabad, July 30: While granting bail to Chirag Salat, accused of forcing wife Pooja to abort a female foetus and harassing her for failing to bear a male child, the Sessions Court on Monday asked the couple to resolve the dispute between themselves.

Chirag, prime accused in the case, is the last member of his family to have been granted bail in the case. Additional Sessions Judge PP Bhatt fixed a surety of Rs 20,000 against the bail.

Pooja had alleged that Chirag and 17 others had been mentally and physically harassing her for the last nine years for failing to bear a male child. She had alleged that her in-laws forced her to undergo an abortion in 1998 after a sex determination test revealed she was carrying a female foetus. The test was allegedly conducted at Dr Sanat Joshi’s clinic. She had also accused the Salats of demanding Rs 25 lakh as dowry.

On Monday, defence lawyers Sudhir Nanavati and Prakash Shah contended that Pooja filed her police complaint a few days after Chirag filed for a divorce. They also submitted that not a single medical certificate was submitted by Pooja for injuries sustained during her stay with the Salats.”

----------------------------------------

THIS NEWS YOU READ ABOVE HAS BEEN ON INTERNET AND SO SHOWS HOW THIS CASE SUDDENLY IS NOT REGARDED AS A CRIMINAL CASE LIKE IT HAPPENS IN OTHER CASES AS PER INDIAN PENAL CODE 498A AND DV LAW !!!

IT WAS THOUGHT THAT EVEN THIS CASE WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE RIGOROUS PROCESS AND THEREBY HURT THE MEN’S SIDE FOR SOME YEARS LIKE IT HAPPENS IN ALL OTHER CASES. I AM NOT SAYING THAT IT IS RIGHT TO DO THAT BUT HOW COME IT HAPPNES IN ALL OTHER CASES?

AND ALSO WHY THEY HAVE BEEN ASKED TO SETTLE OUTSIDE THE COURT WHILE OTHER CASES ARE GOING ON FOR 5-6 YEARS?

AND SEE HOW QUICKLY THIS DECISION HAS BEEN REACHED!!!

SO WHAT MESSAGE IT SENDS TO THE REST OF THE WORLD AND SPECIALLY THE FEMALE POPULATION IN INDIA?

ON 26TH JULY Peace - UK said above " Quickly Mrs Renuka Chaudhary should get involved personally in this case otherwise this case can disappear. Normally these type of criminal cases (as they are criminal case in India) take about 5-6 years to come to an end."

So one can see how people know in advance how money speaks faster in India.

Where money buys the legal system, these sort of things will keep happening. The other day a guy was telling me that to survive in India, you need to be a gunda or have lots of money. And that is not the majority in India. The straight forward people and the poor form the majority and they suffer. And many of the others seem to be in power and they rule. In pakistan they overthrow such government.....and that is also not the answer. But one such overthrow in Indai will open up some people's brains and I am sorry to say that finally. Peace - UK
 
RE: "INDIAN PENAL CODE 498A AND DV LAW"

Some notes from internet and more additions done:

"There are many number of cases where even if no dowry was taken / demanded; just because wife was not able to adjust to husband home, in the name of Dowry, 498a has been used as an instrument to harass innocent husband, his age old parents and his married / unmarried sisters.

Based on girl’s complaint, police blindly without any proof or enquiry; arrested all those named in the complaint and put them in jail.

Although Judges strongly feel that provisions of 498a needs to be changed, but are unable to do any thing since power to amend Law is in the hands of our Politicians.

Since provisions of Sec, 498a IPC are one sided, this has contributed to increased divorce rate. Recently introduced Domestic Violence Act is also one sided and will further accelerate divorce rate. Single-parent system is worst for any society especially for growing children and will deteriorates Law and order situation.

India is not the only country where family disputes take place; however, no country has laws, which empowers its police to arrest family members without an investigation. In no country people are put in jails, until case has been heard by a judge and person declared a culprit. It is only in India where people implicated with 498a, are put in Jails even before case is heard by a Judge."

NRI’s are also trapped by such laws. Many previously used to visit India on regular basis and also contribute at various places but now are no longer able to do this. May be this is a drop in an ocean for India and “who cares” approach takes place from within India but the word is going around fast in more far away countries also. Let me say no more. Peace - UK
