NFHS(National Family Harmony Society), Bangalore- Flash Dharna(protest) demanding wholesome solutions to prevent misuse of gender biased laws affecting entire families in India.

NFHS strongly opposes One Hundred and Fortieth Report on the Committee on Petitions of Rajya Sabha under the Chairmanship of Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, regarding 498A Amendments

About National Family Harmony Society®: "National Family Harmony Society®" NFHS is a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) promoting the cause of "family harmony" and "gender equality". It is registered under "The Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960" and is based in Bangalore. We have branches in more than 16 states and in abroad too. We have approximately 16500 members all over India. To know more about us please visit www.family-harmony.org / www.498a.org.in.

The Committee on Petitions of Rajya Sabha under the Chairmanship of Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, M.P. presented its Hundred and Fortieth Report to the Rajya Sabha on 7th September, 2011 on the petition praying for amendments in Section 498A of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The Petition was submitted by Dr. Anupama Singh, a resident of New Delhi.

The committee has given some recommendations to Rajya Sabha regarding 498A IPC. Before discussing merits or demerits or allowing NGOs and public to express their opinion on these recommendations or their own suggestions.

Attempt by Government to do some temporary, ad-hoc and stop-gap arrangement by fixing some loop holes in the 498A IPC is neither going to stop the misuse of "Gender biased" laws nor it is going to provide any "protection to husband and his family members" from potential misuse and abuse of law. Government instead of taking ad-hoc and temporary steps should constitute a committee for overhaul of overall matrimonial laws rather than approaching the issue piecemeal basis which will aggravate the issue rather than solving it.

  • Good work.....

    Feminism is spreading out all over the world like a plague. Feminism does not accept the gender specifications in the society. It teaches women to give up their own natural femininity and oppose gender specifications while they are using gender biased laws to fight against men and male sexuality.

  • Great effort by Bangalore SIFians.
