Punishment under section 498a should be less than 6 month?

1. Gentlemen, please try to put your selves in the shoes of those parents whose daughters or brothers whose sisters are harrassed by the greedy animals (it is surely insult of a human being to name such speicies as huma being). One can only realise the pain of physical & mental agony faced if he or she himself or herself get subjected to that. We are familiar with many cases where the newly wed brides are killed, burned or hanged  or forced to get themselves hanged. Do you want such butchers to go scot free, Freinds it is not very easy to collect the evidence and get these people convicted as normally they wont leave it behind. 

2. You will not believe that there are the people on our planet / earth those first torture not only the daughter in laws but the infants still in the womb. After that it does not end here if some times the husband dies due to his bl**dy bad habits, drinlking and taking drugs etc etc. The inlaws refusses to even accept the child their grandson and refuse to give him or her any share from the ancestral property. They leave the kid at the mercy of our polluted system, would you like to take sides with such goons or would promise to stand by the poor kid and the harrassed mother. Advise what punishment would you like for such butchers.

3.  Yes, there cant be denial of having very few cases where the brides playing such immoral games, but believe me there cant be smoke without fire, no woman would like to destroy her and her childerens life without unavoaidable reasons.  

4.  Let .us stand for the justice and root out this epidemic called as dowry, This is the root cause of girls being killed, hanged, burned or forced to go for suiccides. This is the reason the female foeticide taking place in your beloved INDIA. This is the root cause behind very low gender ratio inequality.

YOU NEED TO STAND UP, BEING SON OF GREAT SOIL. BHARAT MATA WILL ADMIRE YOU.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

7 years is a big time. do you think that dowry is such a henious offence that need 7 years of a person's life?

do you think that man after 7 year in prison will not take dowry again in his lifetime? can you guarantee that?

i don't know about dowry but i can guarantee that that man will be far worse criminal after his term of sentence ends.

we don't want to create one more criminal in our society.  6 months simple imprisonment would do just fine.

3.  Yes, there cant be denial of having very few cases where the brides playing such immoral games, but believe me there cant be smoke without fire, no woman would like to destroy her and her childerens life without unavoaidable reasons.

really? well, what unavoidable reason do you think cause a woman commit suicide when they fail in love or fail to pass exam or anything else? it seems that you think dowry is the only reason of women's death.

you know what? women can divorce their husbend if mentally tortured. i think that that is the most civilised way to resolve women's problem. after divorce the mental torture will end.

it is absolutely ridiculous that for so called unprovable "mental torture" a man will spend 7 years in jail.

when india will be civilised ?

dowry is not the root cause of torture against women. there are many causes. you just try to highlight one of them.




 

Punishment for IPC 498a is right and there is no need to change, in my opinion. The menace of misuse-which is deliberate and filed with ulterior motives, should also be three years. The falsely accused suffer as much as the original cause  (if true) if not more!

Also Dowry instances must have a time limitation of 3 months for each instance. Filing cases for dowry demanded or taken/ given has no value after years. No dowry should be tolerated and it is the duty of the girl and her family to bring this to the notice, as early as possible, as it is illegal. Filing dowry cases after delay must raise suspicion. A family demanding dowry is not a good family and no girl or family should put up with that. The argument that cases were not filed because of hope that this will stop or for the sake of continuation of marraige, does not hold water. It also defeats the purpose of law. How come dowry is brought up only when things don't work out? Delay in filing dowry cases must amount to condoning it.

Agree- wife can always seek divorce if feels harassed. It is not old times either, where divorce was looked down. Divorce is pretty common today. Now if IRBM is passed as it is framed-woman can get dovorced pretty easily! There are plenty of reasons for marriage to go bad-dowry although brought up in each instance may not be the cause. It is  brought up invariably because that catches the imagination of the people,news media, courts and police and also carries stringent punishment and coercion by the state!

The argument that dowry is given to make marriage successful and prevent harassment is laughable, at best. It is also against the law, in letter and spirit, and has no place in the society. I agree  DP3 is grossly under recognized and grossly under utilized. Infact, success of this law is better, if people stop giving dowry!

i think that the punishment for any marriage related offence must be divorce only: no jail, no fine. it is 21st century and we must  understand the fact that mental offence is not as henious as murder .

Divorce must be made easy and 498a and DV must be removed. No one has any obligation to stay married if they feel they are being harassed or treated cruelly. The attempts to 'save' marriages must be done  away with. Marriages are for people who agree to stay married.

The punishment under 498a should be 10 years.

But there should be a punishment for filing false case/ that might be 6 months only.

Shonee,

You have gone from 7 years to 10 years for 498a and also changed your views that punishment for false cases to be 6 months as opposed to your earlier view of minimum 6 months. Could you explain your rationale? Also should filing false cases result in reduced or elimination of maintenance or recovery?Thanks!

Also what is the success for defamation and malicious prosecution? I have not come across even one case where this has been won. Please throw some light on that as well. Much Thanks!

because Shonee has seen the both side of the coin now..earliar version was one sided as he was falsely accused.

It is neither maximum nor minimum... flat six months for filing false 498a.

Even if with above clauses - Punishment for 10 years for proving dowry charges and of  6 months to complainant for false charges -  it will be harangueing for the middle majority. The cases where court says that the  case could not be proven in lack of evidence, will still be harashment to innocent husbands.

There should be primary check gates - like producing bills for expenses claimed in dowry, otherwise 498a clause misuse will continue increasing.
