Advising wife not chat on facebook amounts to cruelty

Whether directing wife not to chat on facebook amounts to cruelty to wife as per S 498A of IPC?

 
 In paragraph 14 of the complaint, it is alleged that the accused Nos. 1 to 4 and 6 forced the complainant to apologize and make a solemn promise that the complainant shall not chat on "ORKUT", a social networking site. I do not think that even this allegation can amount to harassment within the meaning of Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code as it has no relation to driving the complainant into such behavior as to endanger her life or cause injury to herself. This allegation also does not have any relation to coercing of the complainant into meeting any unlawful demand for any property or valuable security. On the contrary, spending long time on social networking site such as "ORKUT" or "FACEBOOK" by a person can be viewed as mental harassment by another spouse and, therefore, if the spouse is advised to spend loss time on a social networking site or desist from visiting it, the advice is capable as being seen as made with a view to keep the marriage intact and not otherwise.

@Gyan Prakash Sir - How to Vote wisely??

In Central we have 2 parties. Which is better?

In Almost many states there are 2 major Parties, One Party has to win with full majority else they to have to buy few from independents where they offer something under the table.

And every party wins mainly on the Promises they make/Caste/Biryani Packet/Liquor and Money distribution...

From a office boy in Gram Panchayat office to a Clerk in Secretariat most of them take bribe.

When someone questions why are you taking? Then he says My Boss is taking so I am also taking to survive. 

When will it end???? Common man doesn't have much options to vote or he should declare his vote as NULL or VOID.

Agree with you Superhero and also above views of gyan.

 

Yes there is that option also I believe. for null and void vote. As I myself stopped voting couple of decades back, they are all rotten and nothing much can be expected from them, they will make huge promises but wont fulfill any. so in one way there is no use casting vote, but who knows, tomrw there may come a time when a proper honest efficient guy will come and change the rules? Then is the time to vote wisely, give vote to people who want to do good for people, and not just namesake, this is a never ending topic, but as I say its better not to get embroiled with legal cases in the first place, especially in matrimonial matters, they are simply time consuming and wont do any good for anyone. Be the change what you want to see, was Kejriwals mantra, but he also became a part of the system when he got power in his hands, the system itself is such, if someone wants to change it, it wont change, its more powerful than anything and will only change the person who want to change it, so no use running behind system to change it, rather I would say, "Never get into  such a situation where you will end up in legal problems would be my last say, that much care one takes, life be lot more better and easy."
