IPC 498A: A Tool for Abetment of Domestic Violence or Misused Legislation?
criminal ailet advanced hot_takeMain baat yeh hai ki IPC 498A ko ek zulm ki khetri banaya gaya hai. Yeh danda banta hai, lekin koi bhi proof nahin hota ki kya sahi ya galat hai. Kuch cases mein, pati ko arrest karke jail mein daal diya jaata hai, phir bhi trial ke baad sahi kyun nahin tha? Yeh koi jhooth ho sakta hai ya sahi hai, par yeh bataata hai ki system mein bahut kuch galat hain. Ye section aaj kaal mein abhivyakti ki khatra hai, kyunki isse aur zyada mahilaon ko ek dusri ki taraf se pehle se hi chinta hoti hai.

"Ye bahut hi peheli sawal hai (this is a very complex issue). IPC 498A ka uddeshya (purpose) domestic violence se bachav karna tha (was to prevent domestic violence), lekin kabhi-kabhi iska upyog (it's misuse) hone laga hai (has started happening).
Maine to opinion hata hai ki is IPC 498A ko misused kiya jata hai. Yeh Section ek power tool ban chuka hai, jise agar koi bhi wife use karein to husband ko jail karvaane ki power di jati hai. Abhi abhi kuch case mein dekha hai jahaan wife ne husband ko false FIR register karke uska career barbaad kar diya hai. Isse lagta hai kisi bhi wife ko husband ko jail karne ka power diya gaya hai.
