The Committee on Petitions of the Rajya Sabha, under the Chairmanship
of Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Member, Rajya Sabha, is considering a
petition praying for amendments in Section 498A of Indian Penal Code,
1860. The petitioner in his petition has pointed out the extensive
abuse and misuse of this provision of the Penal Code. According to the
petitioner, the abused population undergoes tremendous harassment and
torture. As these provisions of the penal code presently go, a
complaint without much authenticity or any weight of evidence is
enough to arrest the husband or the in-laws or anyone else named in
the complaint, irrespective of whether any crime has taken place or
not. The petitioner, accordingly, has prayed for suitable modification
in section 498A of Penal Code so as to check its abuse and protect the
interest of innocent persons.
2. The petition is available on the Rajya Sabha’s website
(www.rajyasabha.nic.in) under the link: Committees ? Standing
Committees ? Committee on Petitions ? Petitions with the Committee.
3. The Committee has decided to undertake consultations with a wide
cross-section of the society and invites written memoranda thereon.
Those desirous of submitting memoranda to the Committee may send two
copies (each in EnglishOR Hindi) thereof to
Shri Rakesh Naithani,
Joint Director, Rajya Sabha Secretariat,
Parliament House Annexe,
New Delhi – 110 001 (Tel: 011-23035433(O), 23794328 (Telefax) E-mail:

Many NGOs and Human rights organizations welcomed this move by Rajya
Sabha, at last Indian Legal system realized misuse of Women centric
Law which was widely misused.
Under this Law, one word of women is enough to send every member of
Husband behind bar without any investigation and this Law was Non
Bailable and Non compoundable, for so many years because of Women Loby
and Lawyer collective this law was not changed or amended Even there
were reports of misuse. As these Women Organizations were using these
Laws complaints total to get Funds from Government, that’s why all of
these Women organization even now protesting for the same, as they
will lose their bread and butter.
Many Women Organizations sent their Protest Letters against Rajya
Sabhas move to Amend it, That shows the mentality of these Women
Organizations, they want to misuse law only, as per recommended
Amendments there is nothing special, as they are asking for Punishment
for Law misusers and compensation for Legal Terrorism victims but
Women Lobby strongly oppose, It shows they have support for Misusers.
Between 2003 to 2006
5,01,020 people arrested under Section 498A of IPC;
2,94,147 people completed trial under Section 498A of IPC; and
58,842 people convicted (NCRB statistics)
These statistics shows 80% of Innocent people are victimized, even out
of 58,842, many won case in High Court or Supreme Court too. As per
Women organizations to give Justice to 20% of women they want to
victimize 80% of Men Family. This law is not against men but against
husbands Old mother, sisters, Even Distant relatives even breast fed
child is arrested; still they strongly oppose Amendment to this Law to
make it Gender neutral.
Soon Indian Government will realize these Women organizations not only
supporting Legal Terrorist and making laws in their Favor but breaking
backbone of India. No need to give example to show how these Women
organizations are breaking Family system, anyone can ask to show them
one case where, After Section 498A, So called Dowry law women is happy
in her marriage by solving all her Problems, coz no one will find
single case after 498a, that marriage is survived without Divorce.
Soon All women will realize that, 498A is a Fast track for Divorce
only.
