Over 5 lakh people arrested without investigation in the period 2004 to 2007 under cases of IPC 498a. This includes 1.25 lakh women, 5000 senior citizens and 500 minor children.
These laws like IPC 498a should be amended to include compulsory investigation before arrest and automatic prosecution of misusers.
down with draconian laws like 498a n DV acts. These are mere tools to extract money from innocent families. These laws are only favoring unscruplous daughter in laws. There is dangerous nexus of police, lawmakers, lawyers behind these laws which have become extortion tools...

I do not agree. Laws like 498a or pwdva must be abolished. Only thing matters is that the victims should get help and criminals must be punished irrespective of cast, creed, gender or religion.
