dear manoranjan patnaik
first who said that females are weaker s*x? i don't think so.
of course females should get justice IF THEY ARE REALLY A VICTIM. but that JUSTICE should not come at the expense of EQUALITY BEFORE LAW: article 14 of our constitution granted us this right. any law which treats differently people without reasonale ground, violates this article and is not a valid law.
sec 498 is such kind of unconstitutional law. all marriage related laws that treats men and women differently without reasonable ground, are violative of art.14.
all i want to say that a slight modification in law granting mens to say what they have to say will make those law constitutional and restore equality.
moreover section 498 defines those acts as cruelty which is very difficult to prove in court of law. this makes men an easy victim of those feminist, men-hating, selfish, arrogant, greedy women. this is again an INJUSTICE towards men.
we should not bring justice to women at the expense of injustice to men. the key is the nature of offence. the OFFENCE MUST BE OBJECTIVE AND NOT SUBJECTIVE. cruelty is a very subjective offence.
for example physical torture is an objective offence because everybody can see the sign and bruises of torture. but mental cruelty is a subjective offence because the behaviour which is cruel to one woman may not be so to another woman.
thats why section 498 become a symbol of unconstitutional and unjust law.it needs to be changed and accoding to me, it is better to eliminate such clause.
thank you very much.
