Gravatar how about if I suggest you to read about Indian Penal Code - 498a. I will be happy to provide more information (most of it is available at www.498a.org). Please expose this gross human right violations (harassment of husband and his family by wife and her relatives) in India and in the US (of person of Indian origin) in a marriage that has gone sour.

One such article written by Lisa Tsering can be looked reached at: http://news.ncmonline.com/news/ v...97b6bff5354c210 (she won the best NCM investigative journalist award for this work).



To know more about 498a, search the Internet for "misuse of 498a", "misuse Dowry laws" "elder abuse India", "harassed husbands".



Passed by Indian Parliament in 1983, Indian Penal Code 498A, is a criminal law (not a civil law) is defined as:

"Whoever, being the husband or the relative of the husband of a woman, subjects such woman to cruelty shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extent to may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine.



The offence is Cognizable (arrest without investigation or warrants), non-compoundable (complaint cannot be quashed) and non-bailable (accused must appear before judge to come out of jail).

The very nature of this anti-dowry law makes it wife-biased (daughter-in-law biased), discriminatory, stringent, unprecedented, exceptional and poorly formulated.

Please check out the US department of state warning to people traveling to India for marriage related issues. http://communitydispatch.com/ art...icle_1754.shtml

A study done by WHO has found that this is one of the ways elders are abused in India. ( http://www.who.int/ageing/projec.../ alc_ea_ind.pdf )



498a can only be invoked by wife/daughter-in-law or her relative. Most cases where Sec 498A is invoked turn out to be false (as repeatedly accepted by High Courts and Supreme Court in India) as they are mere blackmail attempts by the wife (or her close relatives) when faced with a crumbling marriage. In most cases 498a complaint is followed by the demand of huge amount of money (extortion) to settle the case out of the court. There have been countless instances where, without any investigation, the police have arrested elderly parents, unmar
