About one crore women ( MIL’ s & SIL’ s ) tortured, Harassed, black mailed, arrested in false dowry cases, facing false Criminal trials under Dowry/Women Laws, through out the country & the world, will protest against the use of henious criminal laws in matrimonial discords by observing a worldwide protest on International Womens Day - March - 8, 2008.
ANTI DOWRY LAWS enacted for providing protection to innocent victim girls who are really harassed, tortured and killed for dowry, in majority of the cases the law is being used for ulterior motives to grab the hard earned money and property of the husbands and in-laws. Lacs of women i.e.the mothers in law, sisters in law, have been consumed by the Dowry Laws & lacs had been arrested and have been facing criminal cases through out the country since the amendment of IPC and Indian Evidence Act. And lacs have escaped themselves by paying lacs and crores of rupees & properties to the estranged wives Aided, abetted, & protected by the Law, police & the Courts.
DOWRY laws are entirely biased, discriminatory, stringent, unconstitutional, unprecedented in the legal history of the world. Dowry laws, as we observed, can be said to be the Laws of legal extortion, tools of blackmailing, weapon of harassment, most unfair, anti women, anti social, discriminatory violative of basic human rights. Which needs immediate / rethinking,/ review in social interest.
Amended provisions of the Evidence Act are ill conceived and has deviated from the evidence act in all civilized societies. MERE ASSERTION of a women or her relative that a woman was subjected to cruelty or harassment, has for-reaching assumption because the guilt of the women named is presumed. It is painful that such a henious crime is presumed . It is a known fact that the stringent Dowry Laws have failed to stop the gruesome deaths occurring almost every day. I am of the opinion as observed while dealing with lacs of cases, in last 40 yrs. that committing suicides and burning each other is a direct consequence of defective MATRIMONIAL LAWS which do not provide any solution for un-workable marriages.
Most responsible persons from the Police and Judiciary have also admitted that laws are being used for ulterior motives. A women head of the women police station in her statement to a Delhi daily newspaper has given a very courageous statement that 99% such complaints of women are false. An astonishing data published in a Times of India publication that 90% women prisoners in Bihar Jails are locked in dowry cases. Recently a leading delhi daily Rashtriya Sahara has disclosed that 86.6 % women in Delhi jail are found in false dowry cases.
MAHILA RAKSHA SAMITI demands to the Minister-Women Development,NCW,NHRC & all concerned to :
1. REVIEW DOWRY LAWS on the analogy of an historical case -
M.V.Acharya & others. Vs. State of Maharashtra of the SC in civil appeal 2797-98 of 92,
2. Release all women prisoners/under-trials of 498A/406/304 B dowry cases from Indian Jails as the guilt & the law is based on persumption / to presume all the wo-men gulty, is most unfair, unjustified, a verdict before trial & is violative of basic Human Rights.
3. Stop DOWRY cases pending in Indian courts & Stop registration of fresh cases to save the institution of marriage.
We appeal National Commissions for Women's rights & Human rights, Ministry for Welfare of Women & Children, Union Law Minister & the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India to REVIEW ANTI-DOWRY/WOMEN LAWS in public interest without further delay and in the mean time release all the women jailed in false dowry cases and stop proceedings in pending cases of 498-A, 406 and 304-B in courts throught out the country and stop registration of fresh cases.
