    Due to section 498A, DVC, Maintance cases, all the youth between 22-30 are separating without taking elders decisions, and also both the parties are not even thinking to solve the problem, due to this reason, Indian country is losing lot of new births, due to this reasion of late marriages, late deliveries, pub culture, pre-sex, un employment, equality between women and men, government is in disorder due to their scams, no one is in a position to care another to solve this problems, so Indian public has to call back British government to rule India or else India has no ethics, no rules, no government, no standards, no law, nil administration, law & order.

    solution: Governemnt has to provide employment with out reservations, pure education, educated MLA & M.P’S AND MINISTERS

Some Interesting Stats On Arrests Of Women

In 1930, the British govt arrested 17,000 women for their involvement in the Dandi Yatra (Salt March). During 1937 to 1947 (10 Years), they arrested 5,000 women involved in the freedom struggle. From 2004 to 2006, the govt of India arrested 90,000 women of all ages under 498A. On the average, 27,000 women per year are being arrested under this flawed law. These are stats from the NCRB.

The family of the writer was tortured by the Indian Police in an attempt to extort over a $100,000 by holding them in custody for over a week. The police, in cahoots with the magistrate and the PP, did this due to the ridiculous allegations made in a 498A case by his embittered ex-wife. She filed the case years after he and his family had last seen her. Thousands of 498A cases are filed each year in India by women seeking to wreak vengeance on their husbands and in-laws. Enormous sums are extorted from intimidated families implicated in these cases by corrupt Indian police officers and elements of the Indian judiciary. The author and his family haven't bribed any public official nor have they given in to the extortion. This blog aims to raise awareness of due process in India.
