This Bill will bring Misery and Misfortune to Joint
families in India and financial gains to corrupt Law
enforcing machinery and dishonest Lawyers without
doing anything good to Domestic Violence Victims.
.
The bill will be misused and abused as vehicle for
blackmail, extortion,humiliation and vengeance to
settle scores with connivance of corrupt law enforcers.
If this bill is passed then India will have same conditions
like USA where the marriage rate is 50% Germany 40%
and Ireland 2%.If this happens then India will have
majority population of single mothers, illegitimate
children and bastards.Over 70% of children in USA
are born outside of wedlock.Over 50% live in single
parent family
This is the situation India can not afford in absence
of employment opportunities and social security reforms,
which are otherwise available in these countries.Ultimately
sufferers will be the women for whom these laws are
being designed.
These laws are misused by vested interests. These
social laws are goldmines for law enforcers. How many
persons of marriageable age and their old parents
are aware
that the marriage now will be a very dangerous commodity?
It will be
serious than committing rape or murder in which case
at least entire family is not arrested and jailed.
without proof and investigation.The common man should
be educated about curses and horrors of these barbarian
laws in India.
The Gender laws should not include draconian and barbarian
laws. The social laws have never succeeded in India.
On the contrary they have led to runaway corruption.These
social laws are goldmines for law enforcers and politicians.The
unholy criminal-police-judicial-political nexus begins
and is sustained on the back of these social laws.It
is only common people that suffers because of the
climate of criminality that survives in Indian so-
called democratic system.
Presently conviction rate is 2% and acquittal is 98%
as per statics in respect of. offences against women.
There is clear indication that these laws have miserably
failed and have no chance of success.
These results also prove that most prosecutions are
based on false charges filed by rogue elements with
the connivance of the corrupt police
Without introducing new laws, but streamlining the
existig laws, rules and procedures honestly and controlling
the runaway corruption can do wonders.
The Judiciary should start penalising lawyers, prosecutors
and rogue complainants who initiate frivolous litigation.
Perjury and contempt laws must be vigorously enforced.Scoundrels
should not be allowed to manipulate the Justice system.
The wrongdoers must bear the costs of trial and the
victims must be compensated.There should be rules
of the game.The Judiciary should work on some fair
principles.
The new domestic violence bill shall only bring
desaster to joint family system, which is not good
for the nation
