| yes, it is misused by many women who married because they have no other than this act right now to fight with the husband. i hope as the education increases in the people regarding the use and misuse, perhaps by that time there will be less misuse of the Act's than of now | |

| Dear collegues, i beg to differ, according to my research only 10% of the actual cases of domestic violence is registered, and in fact the nature of allegations are only tip of ice bergs.... it was reported that in punjab 60% of females are subjected to domestic violence and only a fraction of it is recorded. As far as misuse of a law is concerned then I must say most widely misused law is IPC and CrPC as unbriddled power to police is given and they commit crime on us day in and out. Just because a few persons are venting out there vendata through Domestic violence act, that itself can not make it useless. Besides i also beg to plead that more sringent law should be made to cope up wid the increasing torturing opf the fair sex. | |

| As is with every legislation in this country post independence, most of the acts are a reactionnary rather than a wholesome approach towards providing rights and remedies. | |

| To take vengence of the in-laws and the unwanted husband the act is misused. Suitable law should be enacted to counter such misuse | |

| Most of the women filing complaints under the above said Acts only to harass the husband and in-laws. Most of the All women police stations are busy only in recording complaints under these two Acts | |

| Yes. Interestingly, a large number of complaints have come from women themselves, mainly mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. According to National Crime Records Bureau figures quoted by NGOs working on marital harmony, about 1.2 lakh women have been falsely implicated under section 498A. | |
