thanks, sent you the doc. I have already mailed mine through registered post.
Our media is either out of touch or doesnt want to highlight the 498a menace. Most of the programs keep talking
about 'dowry harassment' still - which is fast disappearing from our society given improved educational standards.
If each of the 498a victim was aware of such a law before marriage - would it have helped in anyways? If there is even a small advantage also, we should make 498a a PRIMETIME issue.
Just like women's security - everyone from the Prime Minister to the School Peon is talking about it.
Let us knock on the TV channels to SHOW WHAT WE WANT. Delhi will never do it, so let us atleast give it a try.

देखके उनदेखा करना इतना आसान नही है |
जब बच्चे बच्चे को पता चलेगा की एक लड़की शादी के बाद, अगर चाहे, तो क्या गंदगी और तबाही मचा सकती है,
तो सब अपने आप ही रास्ते पे आज़ाएगा.
फिर कोई लड़कियों को directly/simply अबला नारी नही कहेगा, सबकुछ देखने (review the situaiton) के बाद ये तय करेंगे कि लाडकी सुचमुच में अबला है की नही. Men & Boys will suffer less. Consequently their well-wishers will suffer less.

Just facing the modern age reality/truth and change in the thought process itself is the seed - look around anywhere and everywhere, it is still missing.

If 498a was done 30 years back, and abuse is happening for over 20 years, how come even recent victims were also NOT AWARE of such a possibility in their married life? Probably because it was a a reactive approach - new victims join the old ones, but no such awareness campaign in the society.
