Please report on Misuse of IPC section 498a: Indian families languishing in perpetual distress and injustice

Messers,

I was reading some of your articles which exposed a lot of everyday injustices , when it occurred to me that I should request you to study and report the misuse of the Indian Anti Dowry and Harassment laws(DP Act and section 498a of IPC(Indian Penal Code)), which is ruining many NRI lives along with citizens living in India. Please also download a Booklet( its a bit heavy to send by email) giving details about this misuse, in 'pdf' file format: 498a Research Report submitted to Judges and MOIA Minister Shri Vayalar Ravi (12 MB) . Anyway I am attaching 2 brief reports on the 498a Misuse with this email.

You can read more about IPC 498a misuse and our petitions and awareness efforts at http://www.498a.org/publicity.htm . News in media about cruelty by women/false cases: http://www.498a.org/news.htm

I am appending below my letter to the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai, about the rampant misuse of the IPC section 498a, which is self explanatory. I would request you to take up reporting on this and expose the truth, which I along with the 1100 plus members of Save Indian family foundation yahoogroup: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/saveindianfamily/ , would vouch is destructing families along with its women, and senior citizens hampering our nations progress itself.

The societal disintegration would be worst if we do not put a check on this somehow, so I would urge your good office to take up this subject with utmost interest and report the facts.

The below letter can be found in my blog too( http://cruiserdeep.blogspot.com/2006/01/i-had-posted-below-petition-at-sites.html ), in case you wish to give this matter(which's quite lengthy) in print editions. See the article "NRI grooms tortured and fleeced by Indian brides(SPECIAL)": http://www.dailyindia.com/show/44895.php/NRI_grooms_tortured_and_fleeced_by_Indian_brides(SPECIAL). Here is my letter to the President of India regarding misuse of 498a: http://cruiserdeep.blogspot.com/2006/06/i-had-written-to-president-at.html

We are a group of victims(that includes our family members: father, mother, sister, brother, etc. who are accused in a typical false 498a case by a law-misusing wife) who are members of Save Indian Family yahoo group, and its local chapters as appearing below, you all could join any of the relevant groups of your choice and monitor the discussion and get to know better of the realities regarding misuse of IPC 498a. While joining any of the groups do specify that you are a Journalist, since many of our groups are quite strict on getting the details of the new entrants.

************Letter to CP, Mumbai************

From,

P.R.Gokul

B-102, Matoshrikripa C.H.S, Bhandup(east), Mumbai-400042
Tele/Fax : +91 22 25614188(Bombay, Res), +91 9821414336

To,

The Commissioner of Police, Mumbai

(and Other personnel in I.P.S)

Subject : Misuse of IPC section 498a, resulting misery for Indian families.

Messer’s,

This is to report rampant misuse of Anti Harassment/Cruelty(Domestic violence) laws in India(the concerned section in Indian penal code is section 498a). The potency of misuse is much since the Police doesn't need any other supporting evidence or witness other than the wife's statement/complaint, to straight away arrest the Husband and his relatives (Whoever is named in the wife's complaint), since it is a cognisable crime, following which is an ordeal of long drawn and wasteful legal proceedings for the Husband (in this law he is Guilty until proved innocent!, unlike any other law, anywhere else).

As you might be aware of this misuse yourselves, I would, on behalf of other victims of this misuse also, appeal to all police personnel to treat the complaints u/s IPC 498a with some restraint and empathy. This is in the same lines as supreme courts judgment, cited below, where SC has appealed its courts to exercise restraint till legislature finds way to deal with Makers of frivolous complaints, when S.C ruled: "Till then the courts have to take care of the situation within the existing framework". The excerpt from this judgment is shown below:

The supreme court judgment(in the writ number 141 of 2005) acknowledges that there is rampant misuse of 498a. Especially when Supreme Court of India acknowledges that misuse of 498A is on the rise, and has hinted that the legislature may have to find ways to deal with misusers of 498A, terming this trend as Legal Terrorism. And implicitly directing other indian courts by saying "Till then the courts have to take care of the situation within the existing framework.

The excerpt of this judgment, regarding misuse of 498a, in writ petition No.141 of 2005 of Supreme Court(full judgement also can be found at http://www.pariwariksuraksha.org/WP141.htm and http://at498a.blogspot.com/2008/05/sc-citation-for-legal-terrorism-writ.html) is reproduced below:

*************** Excerpt of the Supreme Court Judgment ***************

“The object of provision is prevention of the dowry menace. But as has been rightly contented by the petitioner, many instances have come to light where the complaints are not bonafide and have been filed with oblique motive. In such cases acquittal of the accused does not in all cases wipe out the ignominy suffered during and prior to trial. Sometimes adverse media coverage adds to the misery. The question, therefore, is what remedial measures can be taken to prevent the abuse of well-intentioned provision. Merely because the provision is constitutional and intra vires, does not give a license to unscrupulous person to wreck personal vendetta or unleash harassment. It may, therefore become necessary for the legislature to find out ways how the makers of frivolous complaints or allegations can be appropriately dealt with. Till then the courts have to take care of the situation within the existing framework. As noted above the object is to strike at the roots of dowry menace. But by misuse of the provision a new legal terrorism can be unleashed. The provision is intended to be used as a shield and not as an assassin's weapon. If cry of wolf is made too often as a prank assistance and protection may not be available when the actual wolf appears. There is no question of investigation agency and courts casually dealing with the allegations. They cannot follow any straitjacket formula in the matters relating to dowry tortures, deaths and cruelty. It cannot be lost sight of that ultimate objective of every legal system is to arrive at truth, punish the guilty and protect the innocent. There is no scope for any pre-conceived notion or view. It is strenuously argued by the petitioner that the investigating agencies and courts start with the presumption that accused persons are guilty and that the complainant is speaking the truth. This is too wide available and generalized statement. Certain statutory presumptions are drawn which again are rebuttable. It is to be noted that the role of investigating agencies and the courts is that of watch dog and not of a bloodhound. It should be their effort to see that innocent person is not made to suffer on account of unfounded, baseless and malicious allegations. It is equally indisputable that in many cases no direct evidence is available and the courts have to act on circumstantial evidence while dealing with such cases, the law laid down relating to circumstantial evidence has to be kept in view.”

The above S.C ruling clearly shows that the judiciary is silently trying to do its best to avoid IPC section 498a being used as a weapon in the hands of assailants, we are sure that the Police force too will follow the same attitude towards 498a accusations, which are found to be false in more than 75% of all the reported cases(and actual conviction rate is only 2% for 498a cases(since a majority of cases are settled out of the court for money!), as per National Crime Records Bureau http://ncrb.nic.in/crime2004/home.htm).

Please also see below, the US and Canadian consular warnings for its citizens (of Indian origin mainly) with respect to this misuse of 498a.

US Consular Warning( http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1139.html ): Excerpt--> A number of U.S.-citizen men who have come to India to marry Indian nationals have been arrested and charged with crimes related to dowry extraction. Many of the charges stem from the U.S. citizen's inability to provide an immigrant visa for his prospective spouse to travel immediately to the United States. The courts sometimes order the U.S. citizen to pay large sums of money to his spouse in exchange for the dismissal of charges. The courts normally confiscate the American’s passport, and he must remain in India until the case has been settled. There are also cases of U.S.-citizen women of Indian descent whose families force them against their will into marriages to Indian nationals.

Canadian Consular affairs info for Canadian abroad ( http://www.voyage.gc.ca/dest/report-en.asp?country=128000#6 ): Excerpt--> Growing numbers of Canadian citizens have been caught up in marital fraud and dowry abuse in India. Most cases involve Indo-Canadian males who abandon their wives in India after cheating them out of large sums of money. Other cases involve misuse of India’s Dowry Prohibition Act. This law, which was enacted to protect women and makes demanding a dowry a crime, is sometimes used to blackmail men through false allegations of dowry extortion. Individuals facing charges may be forced to remain in India until their cases have been settled or pay off their spouses in exchange for the dismissal of charges. To avoid such problems, you are advised to register your marriage in India along with a joint declaration of gifts exchanged, as well as consider a prenuptial agreement

Mischievous Laws Fostering State Tyranny (498 A I.P.C. etc.)

Posted by: "Lucio Mascarenhas" lucio.mascarenhas@gmail.com prakashjm45 Fri Jul 28, 2006 10:23 am (PST) Dear Zee T.V.,

I have been informed, as a member of the "Save The Indian Family" onlinecommunity, that you (i.e., Zee T.V.) are preparing a program on certain"laws" and the people who are unwarrantedly wronged by these "laws",particularly, "Sections 498 A, I.P.C. etc.", read along with "Section 113B,Evidence Act" and other related "enactments".

Permit to introduce myself, and explain my involvement in this matter.

Although I have not yet been made a victim formally of these illegal,criminal, and unconstitutional set of "enactments", I have been madeindirectly a victim by being terrorized and intimidated with the threat ofinvoking these illegal "laws" against me, my indisposed 75-year old mother,and my siblings, on the fabricated charge that we have harrassed a woman fordowry.

As a matter of fact, the said woman has perpetrated fraud on me and hasentrapped me into a civil marriage on false pretences.

I am aware that several courts in India, and throughtout the BritishCommonwealth (as British Commonwealthy Case Law is valid in India) haveruled time and again, that where consent to a marriage has been obtained byfraud and deceit, or by a false and or a defective consent or by duress orcoercion that negates the free consent of the contracting parties, then inEquity, if not in the actual provisions of the written Law, the contract isjudged to have been fatally prevented from coming into force and thereforethe marriage is declared null and void from the beginning.

Despite my several complaints to the authorities, the Police illegally andcriminally refuse to take cognizance of my representations, whether verbalor written, and illegally and criminally insist on the "validity" of this"marriage" obtained by fraud, refusing to act against the crimes of thiswomen, yet threatening to invoke the above illegal "laws" against me ongrounds that they themselves are aware are false, and purely out of a falsesense of being superior to the Law and to the Citizenry.

It is a fundamental right of citizens, and an essential component of theirRight To Life, which includes a right to live with dignity and respect, thatany person accused of a "crime" is to be treated by the Police and theCourts as being "Innocent until proven guilty".

However, the above set of "laws" illegally and criminally deny citizensthese fundamental rights, and perpetrates upon them the crime of falsedetention, and imposes upon them illegally the burden of "Presumption ofGuilt until proven innoncent" on their own account, that is, the Stateimposes upon them the burden of proving their own innocence!

It is pretended that this set of "laws" were enacted in order to "protectwomen". As a matter of fact, the vast majority of the victims of thiscriminal and anticonstitutional set of "laws" are women - mothers, sisters,sisters-in-law, etc.

I do not deny the fact that in many cases of a marital (or quasi-marital, asin my case) dispute, it is the woman who is wronged.

However, the above set of "laws" do not help to prevent this, and on thecontrary, it is an admission by the State, and by the Legislative, Executiveand Judicial Branches of the Government jointly and severally that theyare incompetent to handle the situation and deliver justice to victims, forwhich reason, by a perverse sense of logic, the State decides that it willcompensate by making an utterly unrelated set of "laws" that make innocentcitizens victims and therefore creates a new set of victims of injustice!

This parody and mockery of justice and law is what the above set of "laws"amounts to!

I request you to kindly look into this matter and bring this HimalayanInjustice perpetrated by the Indian State to the attention of the broaderpublic, in order that the public may be educated against this HimalayanEvil.

Thanking you, I am,

Yours truly,

Lucio Mascarenhas, Bombay

Subject: Misuse of IPC 498A
Dear everybody listening,

Its good to see that at last someone in the media have taken up this apparently non-juicy issue. Hundreds, possibly thousands of individuals and their whole family awake to an alien world of police, court, jail and humiliation in my own country just because their wives or daughters-in-law (or even something-in-law) decides to use a very handy weapon in their hand- Article 498A.

Needless to say, this law calls rather cries to be misused. Please rest assured of this. I am a victim. I know people around me who also are and not in ONE single case have I found that the real issue has ANYthing to do with what the husband and his family have done. It always had to do with what the "she-can-never-be-wrong" woman and her family decides to do. What about the rights of the mother-in-law? Is she not a woman? If my experience is of any worth, in the end (a long-drawn end though), it is the woman who actually suffers no less than what the indicted families have to go through. Men are emotional, men are fools. They fall sooner than women. They pay the price. But divinity like always is the Supreme Judge. That judgment is infallible and Supreme. The only thing that this legislation has done is to break families and relationships, even if the irreparable damage to the husband and family is disregarded for argument's sake. Women in cities are logically more independent and are surely seldom oppressed for dowry or otherwise, but the cities stragely have loads of 498A under trial cases in their courts. The really oppressed rural women remains oppressed, and will always be so. A social change has seldom been achieved through legislation, however despotic it be. Education is the major and possibly the only means to achieve that. Reminds me of the famous Led Zeppelin Song, Dazed and Confused... "...Lots of people talking but few of them know... Soul of a Woman was created below...". The Indian man has gradually been brought to believe this. But still in my personal view, it is not so much the woman, but the law that is responsible. Give men some law like this and possibly they too will be happy enough to use it to their vindictive end.

Now the most important question- what do I want as a victim who has gone through the worst (ran around like a petty fugitive for 6 months, was about to be thrown out of my PSU job/ get suspended, parents were infirm and sick, yet had to live out of their own house for 3 months, could not go to visit ny sick parents for weeks together, such was the effect of the wrath of a single mighty woman- my wife) just because my wife wanted me to teach a lesson? Many say, abolish the law or make the law free of gender-bias et al. I have always been of the opinion- "Nothing more is needed. Just make provisions in the the law itself to get the complainant/ accomplices punished with the same penalty what they intended to inflict on the innocent family that bore the brunt of their ruthless attack". That is all that I want. 90% of the cases will simply vanish from the Indian Courts. Instantly.

Hope you do your best to raise your voice to amend this family-wrecking legislation. Let the Indian men not be apprensive over the very idea of marriage due to this intimidation that constantly lurks over man-kind! After all marriages are not something that should be discussed in the fathoms of the man-made horror of a criminal court. Marriages deserve much better than that.

Regards.

Sudipto De Sarkar...

Subject: Please report on Misuse of IPC section 498a: Indian families languishing in perpetual distress and injustice

Messers,

I was reading some of you articles, which exposed a lot of everyday injustices , when it occurred to me that I should request you to study and report the misuse of the Indian Anti Dowry and Harassment laws(section 498a of IPC(Indian Penal Code)), which is ruining many NRI lives along with citizens living in India. Please also download a Booklet( its a bit heavy to send by email) giving details about this misuse, in 'pdf' file format: http://www.498a.org/contents/publicity/498aReport.pdf .

I am appending below my letter to the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai, about the rampant misuse of the IPC section 498a, which is self explanatory. I would request you to take up reporting on this and expose the truth, which I as well the 900 plus members of Save Indian family foundation, yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/saveindianfamily/ , would vouch is destructing families along with its women, hampering our nations progress itself.

The societal disintegration would be worst if we do not put a check on this somehow, so I would urge your good office to take up this subject with utmost interest and report the facts.

The below letter can be found in my blog too( http://cruiserdeep.blogspot.com/2006/01/i-had-posted-below-petition-at-sites.html ), in case you wish to give this matter(which's quite lengthy) in print editions. A Bangalore paper(Vijay Times) reports on misuse of 498a: http://www.saveindianfamily.org/blogs/2006/01/10/false-dowry-cases-rising/ . Here is my letter to the President of India regarding misuse of 498a: http://cruiserdeep.blogspot.com/2006/06/i-had-written-to-president-at.html

We are a group of victims(that includes our family members: father, mother, sister, brother, etc. in a typical false 498a case by a wife) who are members of Save Indian Family yahoo group, and its local chapters as appearing below, you all could join any of the relevant groups of your choice and monitor the discussion and get to know better of the realities regarding misuse of IPC 498a. While joining any of the groups do specify that you are a Journalist, since many of our groups are quite strict on getting the details of the new entrants.

************Letter to CP, Mumbai************

From,

P.R.Gokul

B-102, Matoshrikripa C.H.S, Bhandup(east), Mumbai-400042
Tele/Fax : +91 22 25614188(Bombay, Res), +91 9821414336

To,

The Commissioner of Police, Mumbai

(and Other personnel in I.P.S)

Subject : Misuse of IPC section 498a, resulting misery for Indian families.

Messer’s,

This is to report rampant misuse of Anti Harassment/Cruelty(Domestic violence) laws in India(the concerned section in Indian penal code is section 498a). The potency of misuse is much since the Police doesn't need any other supporting evidence or witness other than the wife's statement/complaint, to straight away arrest the Husband and his relatives (Whoever is named in the wife's complaint), since it is a cognisable crime, following which is an ordeal of long drawn and wasteful legal proceedings for the Husband (in this law he is Guilty until proved innocent!, unlike any other law, anywhere else).

As you might be aware of this misuse yourselves, I would, on behalf of other victims of this misuse also, appeal to all police personnel to treat the complaints u/s IPC 498a with some restraint and empathy. This is in the same lines as supreme courts judgment, cited below, where SC has appealed its courts to exercise restraint till legislature finds way to deal with Makers of frivolous complaints, when S.C ruled: "Till then the courts have to take care of the situation within the existing framework". The excerpt from this judgment is shown below:

The supreme court judgment(in the writ number 141 of 2005) acknowledges that there is rampant misuse of 498a. Especially when Supreme Court of India acknowledges that misuse of 498A is on the rise, and has hinted that the legislature may have to find ways to deal with misusers of 498A, terming this trend as Legal Terrorism. And implicitly directing other indian courts by saying "Till then the courts have to take care of the situation within the existing framework.

The excerpt of this judgment, regarding misuse of 498a, in writ petition No.141 of 2005 of Supreme Court is reproduced below:

*************** Excerpt of the Supreme Court Judgment ***************

“The object of provision is prevention of the dowry menace. But as has been rightly contented by the petitioner, many instances have come to light where the complaints are not bonafide and have been filed with oblique motive. In such cases acquittal of the accused does not in all cases wipe out the ignominy suffered during and prior to trial. Sometimes adverse media coverage adds to the misery. The question, therefore, is what remedial measures can be taken to prevent the abuse of well-intentioned provision. Merely because the provision is constitutional and intra vires, does not give a license to unscrupulous person to wreck personal vendetta or unleash harassment. It may, therefore become necessary for the legislature to find out ways how the makers of frivolous complaints or allegations can be appropriately dealt with. Till then the courts have to take care of the situation within the existing framework. As noted above the object is to strike at the roots of dowry menace. But by misuse of the provision a new legal terrorism can be unleashed. The provision is intended to be used as a shield and not as an assassin's weapon. If cry of wolf is made too often as a prank assistance and protection may not be available when the actual wolf appears. There is no question of investigation agency and courts casually dealing with the allegations. They cannot follow any straitjacket formula in the matters relating to dowry tortures, deaths and cruelty. It cannot be lost sight of that ultimate objective of every legal system is to arrive at truth, punish the guilty and protect the innocent. There is no scope for any pre-conceived notion or view. It is strenuously argued by the petitioner that the investigating agencies and courts start with the presumption that accused persons are guilty and that the complainant is speaking the truth. This is too wide available and generalized statement. Certain statutory presumptions are drawn which again are rebuttable. It is to be noted that the role of investigating agencies and the courts is that of watch dog and not of a bloodhound. It should be their effort to see that innocent person is not made to suffer on account of unfounded, baseless and malicious allegations. It is equally indisputable that in many cases no direct evidence is available and the courts have to act on circumstantial evidence while dealing with such cases, the law laid down relating to circumstantial evidence has to be kept in view.”

The above S.C ruling clearly shows that the judiciary is silently trying to do its best to avoid IPC section 498a being used as a weapon in the hands of assailants, we are sure that the Police force too will follow the same attitude towards 498a accusations, which are found to be false in more than 75% of all the reported cases.

Please also see below, the US and Canadian consular warnings for its citizens (of Indian origin mainly) with respect to this misuse of 498a.

US Consular Warning( http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1139.html ): Excerpt--> A number of U.S.-citizen men who have come to India to marry Indian nationals have been arrested and charged with crimes related to dowry extraction. Many of the charges stem from the U.S. citizen's inability to provide an immigrant visa for his prospective spouse to travel immediately to the United States. The courts sometimes order the U.S. citizen to pay large sums of money to his spouse in exchange for the dismissal of charges. The courts normally confiscate the American’s passport, and he must remain in India until the case has been settled. There are also cases of U.S.-citizen women of Indian descent whose families force them against their will into marriages to Indian nationals.

Canadian Consular affairs info for Canadian abroad ( http://www.voyage.gc.ca/dest/report-en.asp?country=128000#6 ): Excerpt--> Growing numbers of Canadian citizens have been caught up in marital fraud and dowry abuse in India. Most cases involve Indo-Canadian males who abandon their wives in India after cheating them out of large sums of money. Other cases involve misuse of India’s Dowry Prohibition Act. This law, which was enacted to protect women and makes demanding a dowry a crime, is sometimes used to blackmail men through false allegations of dowry extortion. Individuals facing charges may be forced to remain in India until their cases have been settled or pay off their spouses in exchange for the dismissal of charges. To avoid such problems, you are advised to register your marriage in India along with a joint declaration of gifts exchanged, as well as consider a prenuptial agreement
