This is an extreme step & certainly cannot be justified on any grounds. I agree that the laws are biased in favour of wives and there is an urgent need to address the issue by substantially amending the section 498A itself. But you see there are pressure groups that don't wish to see that happen. They have their own logic. But certainly Husbands can take heart from the fact that the Supreme Court, in a series of cases, has waken up to the problem & is strictly interpreting the section so that wives donot have undue advantage. Particularly, allegations against unmarried sisters are carefully scrutinised and burden is heavy on prosecution.

it was bound to happen one day. The sooner the better. Government will sleep for ever. Women's group are getting strident and the result is for all to see.

• If husbund kills whole group of corrupt 498A wife's family he will be the only person to be arrested. Police or judiciary  will not touch any member of husband's family.  Even in this case prosecution must prove the allegation. Not the husband.
  
• If wife files even false dowry case husband's whole family members get arrested and suffer for life long in the court for justice. Moreover husband/his family must prove their innocence that they did not demand or take dowry.
  
• Which one is better?  What a strange law in india! Brilliant law makers!

One political commentator said:

If 25000 politicians had been killed in Bhopal, Anderson would still be in India.

This Govt or any other govt follows the three traditional monkeys of which Gandhi was very attached. They are supposed to see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.

Our govts see nothing, hear nothing and speak nothing.

Keep your hand on the heart and think. Is India a nation? Is it the India of which we dreamt. Right from Kashmir to Manipur, the country if full of strife. Score of killings goes on mounting - both civilians and security forces are getting hacked like carrots and radishes. In the British Raj, people were mortally afraid of  keeping even a 6 inch long knife. Now you see AK-47 and AK-56 trotting elements all over the country. Most of the crimes originate from worthies of Netas and ultimately they degenerate being turned into criminals and rulers. What is not saleable in India now? Netas swear by Gandhi and roll in money and shamelessly they claim that they serve the poor.
