'Dowry law a legal terrorism' : Group of men try to grab Modi's attention in Dubai


Daijiworld Media Network - Dubai

Dubai, Aug 18 : Amidst the ocean of people who gathered from all walks of life to see and to listen to Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, a group of men tried to grab the attention of the media as well as of PM Modi by holding placards that read 'Dowry Law a legal terrorism', 'Dowry law heavily misused' etc.

"We are a group ofhelpless men who have decided to grab our PM's attention, because we have suffered enough. We are a lot of young men who are deprived from visiting India just because of false 'dowry harrasment' cases and arrest warrants issued against us. Hundreds of men from India are today suffering because of this weak law. We want to appeal to the PM to take up this issue and give relief to us. There is a strong need for amendment of the law, and we hope under the leadership of PM Modi we will get justice," a man who did not want reveal his name told daijiworld.

"Several men here are suffering, while their wives are enjoying back home after simply filing false cases against us. There should be an end to this, and with this media attention, we hope many people will join in our appeal for amendment of law," he said.

Modi addressed a massive gathering at the Dubai cricket stadium where over 50,000 Indians hailing from all corners of the nation gathered and cheered for Modi.

    Yes 498a and dv act are legal terrorism. And the role of women cell are also questionable. Its misuse has increased to a extent that the no of husbands committing suicides due to false cases are increasing day by day. In India if in frustration and anger if a husband even says in that frame of mind he is not willing to live any more his wife has a right to put a case on him of mental harassment. And he will be further harassed by the women cells....

    @zietgiest , astonishing 70 to 80 percent dowry cases are false . Actually 'cool ' women are more greedy , reverse sexist and misandrists , they expect the far superior groom than themselves . With every incompatibility is been termed as abuse and is used against husband and his family. Female dowry deaths are nothing as compared to suicide rates amongst married men due to violence by their wives. Also what about stree dhan and meher given by grooms !? And also alimony !? which is even more cruel than dowry . Why husbands have to feed estrangled wives !? Cant they earn themselves if its true equality !?

    i totally agree with Sunita as some girl marry only for money nowadays and not to build a family. I have gone through this and i amaware.as she filed a false case against me and my family member and demanded huge sum of money along with her lawyer for false dowry harassment and now married again and enjoying with her second husband in Kuwait. As i was in gulf i could not fight the case as i was working in a good MNC i could leave my job and come back and fight the case as in India case takes here to solve and as this is false dowry harassment law and police all are on girl side. if required i can give that girl name also.

    I think women wrongly accusing men of dowry harassment is a good think. Cause men are fools and they deserve it. Many of them would marry looking into financial standing of the other party. In most cases the marriage would have been arranged (in other words, organised breeding program) . You see, in arrange marriages there is no real love between a man and a women. Understanding between the two is next to nil. They usually dont know how the other person is. In most cases both parties see the financial benefits they get after marriage. Since actual love between a man and women exist, its easier for wife to give false complaint.

    Men may suffer due to false dowry harassment, but its not same or anywhere close to what women suffer due to real dowry harassment. As per 2010 report 1.4 deaths related to dowry occur for every 100000 women in India. I dont think such such things happens to men. At max they may loose little piece of mind thats it. That being said, most men are basically jackasses who would have a sense of entitlement about how their wives should treat them, or be misogynistic or sexist.

    Sunitha,

    It appears 'We' (meaning, your family) put that condition but apparently, you did not apply it for yourself - did you ? Do you understand what I intend to say ? Many question arise and answer are not fit to be shared on a public forum.

    Sweety, while she is welcomed into your brother's family, you too belong somewhere. We all have our respective duties. Do I need to say more ?

    In Quran there is a chapter Named An-Nisa(the woman).And in this it is clearly mentioned Sons gets 75% of his ancestral properties or whatever he earns whereas women has to be satisfied with 25% and this pricked a lot to me.But nowadays even though I am a woman ,after reading so many such news I look up at sky n smile n say to Almighty ,Yes!!! U knew it.And one more thing it is also mentioned,if a man wants a wife then HE has to pay MAHR(dowry)during nikah and then can take her from her father.Father must ask his daughter's approval before the ceremony.
    Hope justice will prevail to those men who are betrayed this way.

    I can only say we need to change. That change has to start from us and from each person. PM cant do anything unless we take the change. At the time of proposal we do not think of this change and happily demand or give. Now when there is a real problem we want the PM to change the law. How insane !! Like said 'Charity begins from home'....so as 'change has to begin from individual'.

    Yes I agree.. we have never asked dowry. even wedding expenses we have shared 50-50 so that it shouldn't be burden for brides or grooms family. but at last my sister in law has put dowry case against us. When Law will amended ther will no chance to misuse law..

    Sunitha,

    Even the Bible permits a man to leave and live with his wife separately after marriage. Please reply my one query - did you and your family members support this advice or restrain him and force her to adjust to your family system ? Yes, or No, will give a reason to who/why/how caused the present misery to your brother. Not one word more, not one less.

    this issue started just 1 week after the wedding and in this time no one will force a girl to adjust to groom's family. I agree being a daughter in law i too get irritated to adjust their tradition. ther should be adjustment in both side to keep the married life happy.
    In just 1 year of ther wedding what expectation and adjustment we can expect.

    Nobody can undo what happened - I sympathize with you men who are in bad state of life.

    Nevertheless, there is still time, its not late yet. You either refuse to receive anything in bride price or deposit all what she brings, in her name.

    Including expenses of marriage - spend yourself for the marriage or share 50-50. Mark my words - no woman or her relatives will go to file a case against you. Keep receipt of your expenses as a ransom - the day she threatens you, show the trump card !

    Any takers ? No ! Only dislike-rs ! Because, demand to book TMA Pai hall, posh hotels' menu is a prestige you men won't let go ! All at your in-law's expense ! Prove me wrong !

    I agree with you. even though we have shared wedding expenses. opened locker in bank and deposited all her jewelry in her name and yes we did the mistake by depositing my mom's and brother's jewellery after taking my mom's and brother's jewelry she has filed dowry case against us. Sad that law was made to help women who are dowry harassment but some women are misusing it.

    Marriages are the biggest custom in India , there are many small and big customs take place during ceremony, both Groom & Bride family give gifts to each other family this is part of the system unless one forcefully demanded something. however picking one custom and it a crime is not good, pls remember this is why giving and taking dowry both are crime but unfortunately only one side is listen and other is completely ignored. Pls remember we are living in a country where every one looting other through corruption. the impact/result of it is highly misused law in Indian history.

    I would suggest you know the matter before giving us your enlightened views..498a aka dowry case doesn't need any evidence to register.it is based solely on a womens testimony in an FIR. It takes 6-8 years to prove this cases false after countless hearings in the court and paying lawyer fees. And then the women goes scot free inspite of a false case..And no its not men who want expensive weddings but materialistic women and their families

    If receiving Dowry is considered illegal then providing dowry should also be considered illegal no matter how hard it effects.

    By implementing such law we can avoid misuse of dowry law such of false dowry cases.

    Dawood is a billionaire and stinking rich , so no chance for india to grab him as of now , unless if his business run dry in future . But india is getting notorious for bad reasons globally , and rising false or fake cases is one of them .

    Its weird that laws treat women testimony as gospel , an innocent man on the other side is very vulnerable . Great work by fellow MRAs as they made international headlines . If majority of marital and sexual assault laws are made gender neutral , jails will sure be filled with greedy women .

    Ohh yes. The Dowry Law is misused in India for female's legal games. Infact the female's lawyer should be imprisoned if the charges are found to be untrue. In most cases the lawyer of the female ( estranged wife ) accuses the male ( estranged husband )of untrue facts to claim compensation / money from the male and delays the judgement ( divorce ) in the family court.

    yeah of course the law should be amended, as the law was made to give protection from harassment or to prevent dowry, but now days many women using this law as a tool to harass men if their demands not met,unfortunately some stupid advocates and some police also encouraging this by giving stupid idea about this law to put men in trouble, honestly saying I was also falsely trapped by this stupid law, but god is great I have come out cleanly, but the social stigma, money spent to travel to back from abroad to attend court cases, advocate fees, mental torture and lost peace of mind. so who will make up for those for no wrong? there are good women also, but some women make mistake but effects all in general.
