When you read DV or 498a cases you almost see - one thing in common - women were forced to abhort.
Here is some reasearch findings
As per report from international centre for research on woman(icrw) report titled evolving men
1. Percentage of indian ( men and women combined) who says that pregnancy were terminated( by her or his spouse) : Men 2%, woman - 21%
2. Percentage of indian( men and women combined) who says that they were involved in decision to terminate pregnancy : Men 52%, women -92%
first point goes to prove that men are kept are in dark and women terminate pregnacy on their own.
second point clearly shows that only half men opinion are involved in making decision to terminate pregnacy.
