| though the section 498A IPC is an offence under IPC relating to marriage and some time it is misuse by the wife and their relation and the husband and their relarion suffering for the same without their fault, the chance of restoration become difficult due to rigour sufferance of in laws. So it should be bailable and cognizable offence to prevent the misuse and restoration of marriage by mediation. | |

| No doubt,there are cases of misuse of 498A but in my opinion It must be continue as cognizable offence. Bail applications shall be dealt in the parameters laid down in the case of 'Amrawati' Vs. State of U.P. | |

| Sec. 498A is part of The Law on Dowery. It is a personal issue of family, So, varification of complaint before taking cognigence by police is necessary to avoid false cases. | |

| these provisions must be non cognizable n bailable as in most of matrimonial matters comes to an end with compromise.After filing of such cases if in -laws faces sever difficulties the matter results in compromise with divorce,however if in laws gets lesser difficulties the matter sometimes c0mpromises amicably n parties may resume cohabitation. | |

| Even inspite of the rigid provisions existing in S.498A of IPC,cases of cruelty and harassment to wivesby the Husband and in-laws are increasing on alarming rate. Therefore, I do not think that the provisions need any review to make them lighter for those who are ill-treating their wives and throwing them out from their matrimonial homes. | |

| Its should be non-cognizable and bailable, because maximum cases were found false, but in case if cruelty goes to death of concern or serious hospitalization, need to check the present fact and apply. | |

| it is family matter, no one going to run away leaving his entire family , home, job. Let court decide cruelty or not!!, Why Arrest & all drama It must be noncong & bailable : Only if criminal sec say used hot knife> bleeding injury, then yes, but in all normal 498a, it must be bailable | |

| It must be a non biased law. Many genuine cases of dowry cases get sidelined by the 498a misusers. Many families suffere ir-repairable damage when DIL drags the in laws in police with false allegations. 498a shud be bailable at least, so that innocent ppl do not lose their self respect & chances of reconciliation are left behind. The false allegations shud be dealt with iron hand. | |

| Yes this should be made bailable offence as that would save innocent husband and family members from loss of respect due to arrest. These cases settle either in aquittal or settlement but the loss of respect due to arrest is not made up. | |

| That will make the husbands more cruel as for their crimes, there is no quick punishment. They are already misusing the divorce laws by filing the divorces and remarrying during the divorce procedure since it becomes difficult for wife to prove his second marriage. | |

| YES, it must be non-cognizable and bailable, as the accused is forced to be made totally handicapped to defend himself by the police, besides causing total bankruptsy and loss of mental peace and social image for all the relatives and friends of the accused, even if he is exonerated at the end. For them everything is lost forever and life becomes a burden thereafter. | |

| What about genuine cases? Even 498a is insufficient. My terrible experience with my daughter's husband requires more stringent laws. | |

| Sec 498A, the law was implemented to safeguard the women and the same may be used for her welfare and to give her a happy married life....it is true too good is too bad the same thing happened in this context more power granted in favor of women has lead to misuse of the provision and it needs to be amended to stop the misuse.... | |

| The provision of sec 498A of IPC is being misused by the women horribly. Old in-laws are harrased when they are not even guilty of the act anyway.If the husband, in-laws and relatives are guilty of act "cruelty", then proper investigation followed by punishment as stated in the provision of IPC is acceptable, but at first instance it should be made NON-COGNIZABLE and BAILABLE. | |

| Cruelty by husband or relative of husband should be to be decided by the court, most of the women folk and her family members are misusing in collusion with the police thereby resulting in hardships to husband and relatives of husband. Hence cruelty by husband or relatives of husband should me made non-cognizable and bailable. | |

| Sec.498A of IPC is an instrument for the women who are in extortion business and carry on their activities accordingly..... This particular section is being used for blackmailing the husband and his relatives to bow down to the demands of the wife.... and Section 498A is legally supporting those women who have married for easy money and the same is been legalised in our country through section 498a. Women earns a heavy amount and help her unregistered hubby..... This section has been particularly used by the hungry women who is not satisfied with one man and so its a wonderful intruments for extortion and blackmailing to be legal.... finally, sec.498A had created a great unrest in the society and legalised the oldest profession of this world.... | |
