498A

There is a Bus 498A in Dublin only but in India there is an Indian Penal Code (I.P.C.)498a.

This refers to a complaint filed by a wife , or any members of her family against any inLaws ( treated as out laws).The original idea in 1983 was to prevent in Laws from asking for a Dowry with a Bride.
However the Dowry did stop on the face of it , but subtle demands were made and some women commited suicide.

Now that Indian women are educated, they abuse this law to EXTRACT favours and money from In Laws.Husbands are prisoners, if they do not obey their wives they can be taken to court under this false accusations. Is this sexual discrimination, when it is legal?
Some bloggers have called it W.M.D Weapons of mass destruction.

Some judges have asked for the law to have a b part ( 498b) where the husbands can be heard.
But the politicians, and law makers and lawyers will loose. So this is not to be.
