@Vishwa. It is not always females to be blamed for filing 498A, but the Advocates who mislead them to do so. You know Advocates do not get anything if wife and husband resolve their dispute amicably. If 498A is filed then it will benefit so many people involved in so many institutions because husbands have to part with huge amounts of money. Most of the women who file 498A do not know the consequences of filing it. It is not that woman finds that she is being treated cruelly by husbands and his family members and she lands up in PS innocently and police file case under 498A. In majority of cases they are trained to that effect.
