Delhi attacks are a text book example of how a violent incident is turned into a women's rights issue



1. First lets define the incident . A boy and a girl was were subjected to severe beatings with an iron rod by a few hooligans . This is a very heinous offense no doubt but is it rape ?  The boy also was beaten very badly with the same iron rod that he girl was beaten , but do we have a single article describing his pain . No .. apparently because the men being beaten and his clothes torn remains a  man being beaten .However a  women being beaten with torn clothes is termed rape irrespective of the fact if there was a sexual intention to the incident. Instead of a calling a Delhi an "Unsafe city" filled with hooligans .. Delhi becomes "unsafe only for women" even as numbers show that  males also get beaten everyday in more numbers than females.

2. The ambit of rape is still not defined in Indian and essentially defined by the media. If the media feels it can portray an incident of an a argumentative woman being slapped by traffic cop for knocking a passerby in Bangalore  as a case molestation. In the same way more severe incidents like severe pushing , severe beating , kicking , punching and any bodily harm to women is often termed rape to gain more media mileage and sensationalism . For example when the police beats a woman protestor it becomes molestation and when the same police beats a male protestor with the same baton in the same riot the charge of hurt and grievous hurt may be leveled. This methodology not only increases the number of rape and molestation incidents statistically, but this also provides ammunition for proponents to bring more draconian senseless legislation under the guise of laws to protect women.

3. Media trails in India are common and everyday affair . Media start to repeat the incident and slowly the word rape starts to fly around . Very soon prominent women's rights organizations start to pick the brownie points by issuing statements left right and center without even verifying  if it was a rape . Filmstars and politicians soon join in the chorus and and start issuing politically correct statements to improve their image and score points. The whole incident is turned from a voilent beating to rape and focus shifts from the man to the woman. Candles come out only demanding that women be protected and there is not a single demanding justice for the man who was equally brutalised .

4. This is not the first time male pain and suffering was ignored by the media and government . In the famous Ruchika Gihrotra case in 2009 , Ruchika's brother was brutally tortured by the police for weeks to pressurize Ruchika to take her molestation complaint back. However the media attention was solely focused on Ruchika's suicide and this was morphed turned into women's rights issue ignoring the plight of the bother who languished in jail for weeks on end getting tortured all for protecting his sister.No demands were made for her brother getting a fair trail and neither did a single person light a candle against torture of males by Indian police.

4. The reaction of the Aam Aadmi, especially males is no less surprising. Demanding death for the alleged rapists is the most minimum humane  punishment demanded by promiment people . The Aam aadmi(especially males) on the street when asked  on the suitable punishment demand castration , eating by rats , cutting off of genitals and ever increasing grotesque punishments right out of medieval times for the alleged rapists as if deriving some sadistic pleasure of seeing the alleged rapists suffer . It also appears that harsher the punishment demanded the more pleasure the male gets by demanding it . The stand of the Indian males is hardest to gauge . On one side they salivate to gyrating semi clad women in bollywood movies(which is allowed by the govt)  , have a population that is going through the roof and other the other side they get extreme pleasure of seeing another male sufer in the most horrible way possible even before the crime is proven beyond any resonable doubt. 

So why is violence against men ignored and why is violence against women increasingly being called rape ? Why is a women hit in her genitals automatically become an incident of rape whereas a  man hit in his genitals by the same person with the same weapon does not get the any coverage . Does the man feel any less pain or does he deserve less because he is a man ?  Why do Indian seek such sadistic pleasure out of proposing such medieval punishment and then choose to ignore the brutality that males suffer totally ignoring the fact that they  too can one day face the same media trial which they are now enjoying as a viewer. These are some questions that we need to ponder before we pass out half baked judgements sitting in our living room on an incident we have little knowledge about .

INSAAF retained for drafting bill for protecting of men from intimate partner violence




INSAAF has been retained by prominent Indian men's rights organisations along with  some key Members of parliament for drafting a Intimate Terror (Domestic Violence) act which specifically caters to protecting men and boys from domestic violence from their spouse , girlfriends and parents. It has been alleged that Husbands and boyfriends in Indian are specifically excluded from protected under domestic violence laws in India. Research has also shown that there have been significant demand from all quarters for creation of laws to protect men from intimate terror but all these requests have so far not led to to formulation of an actual law which is believed to have caused due to unavailability of a government forum to consider the safety and security of Indian men in general.

Preliminary Study results from INSAAF's study of Intimate Terror

INSAAF's researchers have collated vast amount of peer reviewed data and evidence from personal interviews of male victims, court case records , statements made by honorable courts and media articles and has determined that domestic violence abuse of Indian males falls across a wide range of categories namely

a. Physical abuse : Husbands and Male partners have presented serious evidence of been  scratched , punched , bit , things thrown at them by their female partners apart from attacks with deadly instruments. In the absence of a legal system to protect men from physical violence  these victims get little or no medical care or attention and are even unable to speak of their physical wounds due to the unavailability of a law to protect them from abuse.

b. Emotional abuse :  Demands to forcefully separate the husband from his parents and family , demand for separate residence, threat of Police action and legal recourse if the wife's demands are not met were  some of the commonly seen tactics of emotional abuse. Also , constant non-cooperation of the wife or the female partner in the smooth running of a family was another commonly seen tactic which was used to abuse husbands in case of non fulfillment of the demands of the wife.

c. Verbal abuse : Calling husbands and male partners derogatory names with an intent to demean and hurt. Names like "impotent" , "Spineless" , "Hijra(Eunuch)" have most commonly come up and were verbal abuses that were levelled against Husbands and male partners with an intent to cause pain and ignominy. Many husbands provided evidence of suffering of such verbal abuse for decades primarily due to their specific inability to earn an income as per the demands of their spouses.    

d. Legal abuse : The acts of misusing the state machinery by the wife or female partner for intent of coercing the husband or the male partner to abide by their demands. Common amongst these are misuse of IPC 498a , DV act 2005 , Rape/Molestation Laws , Denying Child custody on event of separation and Maintenance laws.

e. Economic abuse :- Constant irrational demands on the husband for purchase of jewelery , real estate , expensive clothing , automobiles , restaurant hospitality, feminine beauty products and demands for payments to family members of the wife's family was evidenced .When the husband or the male partner was unable to meet the financial demands of the female partner they were subjected to further emotional and physical abuse. A lot of data spoke of  severe economic abuse and daily non co-operatory tactics to force the man to increase his income beyond his normal means and capability. Inability of the man to earn more led to further domestic abuse and which in many cases led to legal and physical violence and an eventual divorce.


f. Sexual abuse: Using consensual physical relations to coerce a man for either financial payments and/or forced marriage . Threatening to file cases of rape and molestation after consensual physical relations. Forcing men to start families against their will and denying physical relation in a matrimonial relation if to irrational and unreasonable demands are not fulfilled.

INSAAF's study has also has taken into account the scale and propensity of abuse of husbands and males partners in India and compared that to worldwide abuse numbers . We have concluded that in in more than 50% of cases wives and females also initiated fights which led to intimate terror attacks on their male partners. The bill is going through its final touches  and  will be presented for consideration during the winter session of the parliament.

INSAAF strongly condemns proposed anti male Sexual Harrasment at Workplace law

INSAAF strongly protests the volte-face by the Indian government on the Sexual harrasment at workplace bill and the deploratory act of then quietly  trying to sneak in anti-male legislation titled “Protection of Women against Sexual Harassment Bill”. INSAAF is sad that the enormous evidence that was presented by INSAAF in favour of a Gender Neutral law was categorcally sidelined Radical Indian feminist forces under the very nose of the government.

INSAAF feels that the proposed bill will .
1. Will completely destroy the workplace harmony.

2. Will convert professional rivalries and jealousies into frivolous complaints and will become yet another source of extortion of a man’s money.

3. Will motivate companies to stop hiring of female candidates.

4. Will put Corporate honchos, bureaucrats, politicians and all male employees at the mercy of women who can simply use (read misuse) this law to cover their incompetence.

5. Will create further anti-male gender bias in the workplace and will contribute to more men committing suicides.

6. Already men commit suicides to the tune of 4 times compared to women in workplaces as per data by Union Home Ministry.

We strongly oppose the gender bias and anti-male nature of this law and demand that this law should be made gender neutral.

Brief background of the law:

1. This bill has been proposed in 2007 based on judgment by the Honorable Supreme Court in the Vishakha case.

2. INSAAF opposed it even at that point of time and the bill was finally sent to a Parliamentary Standing Committee in the year 2010. INSAAF was also invited multiple times to the Rajya Sabha and while deposing in front of the parliamentary committe presented enormous evidence in favor of making this law gender neutral.

3. Others Men’s rights activists other than INSAAF deposed before the committee in 2011 and based on their representation, the Committee recommended the Govt. of India to make the bill gender neutral and provide protection to men as well.

4. In 2012 May the cabinet approved the law, without taking into consideration, the recommendations made by the Parliamentary Standing Committee.

5. This clearly exposes the double standards of the Govt. and it also brings forth the fact that sending it to the Parliamentary Committee was just eyewash and the Government never really intended to provide men, a safe atmosphere to work in office.

India is an isolated country:

1. It is extremely surprising that when most of the countries are moving forward and coming up with gender neutral laws, India is moving back in time and is all set to pass an anti-male and a gender biased law.

2. This law is Gender Neutral in most of the countries where it is prevalent.

3. According to a report on Sexual harassment at workplace by United Nations Economic Commission of Europe, around 25 countries in and around Europe and Asia like Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, The Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom have policies for Sexual Harassment, that are gender neutral.

4. The US and most countries in ASEAN region also have Gender Neutral laws. Even neighboring Pakistan has Gender Neutral Sexual Harassment policies.

WCD's kangaroo court are conducting surveys on men is a hogwash at best :

1. INSAAF hereby clearly and categorically opposes the announcement made by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) ministry made on the 21st of August 2012 that it intends to conduct a study on the sexual harassment faced by men.

2. However, it also said that the study was a matter of future and currently the law should be passed as it is i.e. gender biased and anti-male in nature.

3. It is the same WCD ministry that has gone on record to say that, “Protection of men is not their mandate” and now that they are facing opposition from some quarters of the Govt. of India in getting this biased, anti-male and extortionary law passed, they have started to make hollow claims of promising to study harassment of men. The act of WCD's kangaroo court making such claims is laughable at best and at worst shows the extent this ministry of government can stoop to pursue its feminist agenda.

4. Whereas in reality, when they have already gone on record to say that it is not their mandate to protect men, it is very clear that their intention of studying sexual abuse of men is not at all a bonafide one and is subject to strong suspicion.

5. This announcement is just a diversionary tactic from their side so that the law gets passed the way they want it and later the same can be used to extort and blackmail men at workplaces too.

Sexual Harassment of Men:

Contrary to popular belief, men do face sexual harassment at workplace and more often than not find unwanted feminine attention overwhelming and discomforting. Further worse, pervert social mindsets force the male victims to keep mum.

Some of the common forms of such harassment which males face, from their female colleagues in their workplace are,

1. Lewd remarks about the dressing sense of men.

2. Bold comments about physique and physical appearance of men.

3. Uncanny close approach by a female colleague towards a male colleague while trying to discuss some official matters.

4. Calling a male colleague inside a cabin and try to talk personal matters with him in office hours.

5. Requesting a male colleague to stay back late at night and accompany or ask for a drop.

6. Female colleagues wearing revealing clothes that make the professional atmosphere uncomfortable.

7. Talking about sexual matters freely with a male colleague despite his discomfiture to the same and ignoring his warnings at times to not to discuss such matters with him.

8. Asking out a male colleague.

These and many other forms of sexual harassment of men, more often than not go, unnoticed and unreported primarily because,

1. It is considered unmanly for a man to complain of sexual harassment.

2. Society refuses to believe that men can be victims of feminine sexual aggression.

3. Men are socially conditioned to accept welcoming and approaching gestures from females sportingly and in this process their own choices, aspirations and emotions are mercilessly trampled.

4. Society ridicules men who are uncomfortable in female company by giving them name tags such as “boring, fag, sissy, geeky, nerdy” etc. Such social mindsets often force men to “look” happy in a female company and it also trivializes their concerns from a male sexuality perspective.

5. Adverse media coverage and systemic gender bias against men suppresses them to a larger extent and truth barely and rarely comes out.

Credible surveys  have unearthed truth:

The Economic Times had conducted a survey titled the ET-Synovate survey, in which it came out that as far as 55% of men feel that they faced sexual harassment from the female colleagues and bosses and they need protection. The survey was covered in 7 cities including Bangalore, Delhi. Hyderabad, Mumbai.

First ever helpline for protection of men from sexual harassment:

INSAAF hails the act of establising  the first ever men’s helpline for Indian that caters to men facing sexual/workplace harassment from the colleagues, especially female colleagues.

Even a facebook page has been created for this and the URL for the same is,

https://www.facebook.com/maleworkplaceharassment

And following are the helplines

1. Delhi – 9818509406

2. Mumbai – 9322156141

3. Bangalore – 9535109509

4. Nagpur – 9890974788

INSAAF's demands:

1. The Govt. of India must not pass this law in the current form and it must consult the men’s rights organizations, make it gender neutral including its title and then only pass it.

2. The new bill must be re-drafted by a neutral ministry like the Ministry of Law and Justice or the Human Resources Development ministry.

3. The draft prepared by the WCD ministry must be discarded as a ministry that openly justifies its anti-male stance cannot be allowed trample the Constitutional right of men which entitles them to a safe working environment. WCD's kangaroo court must be summarily disbarred from conducting any studies on men.

4. The WCD must be stopped from conducting any study on male issues.

5. Govt. must form a separate commission, called the National Commission for Men, containing people who have championed the cause of men’s rights and such a commission must study male issues.

6. Govt. must form Men Welfare Ministry to take care of welfare of men.

Why are ‘free lunches’ to women paid for by men called progressive legislations ?


In India, any proposal to extend “free lunches” to women at the cost of men is hailed as a progressive legislation. The Indian law makers somehow believe that women by the dint of their gender are entitled to these free lunches and men again owning to their gender  owe these free lunches to women or will be legally forced to provide them as the case may be. It is believed that providing free lunches to women would lead to departmental accolade amongst their superiors and peers and would be the politically correct thing to do. When providing free lunches, scientific analysis, and business reasoning and even simple common sense is thrown out. The result, the problem remains as it was before, and men are forced to compensate women in some way. ( Mission accomplished !!)

Let us look at just some of these recent free lunches provided by the Government at various different stages of a woman's life.

India women get educated in the same schools as boys and get free or highly subsidized education throughout their life . Looked at from an aggregation perspective, girls as a gender group outperform boys every year in most annual examinations. The Indian government and the press normally hail this achievement as an sign of empowerment of women , but has never bothered to take any remedial steps to first study the reason why boys are lagging behind collectively as a gender group and what remedial steps need to be taken to ensure that boys too as a gender group perform at par with the girls.


IIT’s Newtonian formula for providing free lunches to women

However when it comes to undergraduate courses, few girls are able to compete and enroll in the highly prestigious Indian Institute of Technologies( IITs) . These examinations filter through hundreds of thousands of Indian students and most of the years the students who clear this examination are invariably boys. To solve the inability of girls to compete and enroll in the IIT’s , the Joint Admission Board (JAB) of Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) recently announced that so called brilliant solution of the entrance test fee for girls would be waived off from the academic year 2012 . As it stood earlier Girls currently pay only Rs 500 for the JEE application form and boys pay Rs 1,000. With this new improved free lunch the IIT entrance test will become free for girls from the next year while boys will have to pay twice as much at Rs 1,800. So boys would have to the bear the burden of the free lunch for girls.

It would still have made sense of the proposal would have some from some lowly babu , but this coming straight from the JAB which consists the foremost academics minds is bewildering since this proves the unwritten theorem in academics that when appeasing women ignore logic and scientific thinking.

(Old Form cost of girls ) + (Old Form cost of Boys) = New Form cost of Boys

which equals (New Form Cost of Girls)= 0
and (Old examination Revenue) = (New examination revenue)


What brilliant mathematics , Issac Newton would be certainly be pleased with the ingenuity of the JAB .


IIM’s want women to grace the IIM’s by their presence through grace marks

The IIM’s are another place where women find to hard to enter through merit so this presented an opportunity for another of the gender free lunches. Not to outdone by their science brethren in the race to provide free lunches to women, the IIM’s stated to award women extra marks to people for have the amazing achievement of possessing female genitalia.

IIM-Rohtak will give 20 marks to each girl , IIM-Raipur will add 30 marks to the overall scores of each girl and IIM-Lucknow has decided to grant five marks to each girl and so forth. Looking at the non-uniformity of the free lunch It appears there is a veritable frenzy and completion to between the IIM’s to attract women and grace the IIM’s by their presence. This decision gives an example of how the sharpest business minds loose their sight of simple profit and loss and what appears to a business logic that men must be made to suffer a loss when it comes to providing free lunches to women.

The Mother of all Free lunches – A Doctrine to Annex Male property through marriages

The Doctrine of Lapse was a property annexation policy purportedly devised by the British in the 18th century to annex the Indian kingdoms was considered as one of the most regressive and illegitimate laws of all times . The Marriage law amendment bill architects a similar proposal for annexing the properties of a husband through marriage. Through this new doctrine the government is now considering making women property owners overnight once again through a free lunch . The difference being that this free lunch is a veritable lunch buffet offering a massive financial windfall for people having female genitalia because they provided the “service” of marrying a person with male genitalia.

In this proposed legislation a wife will be entitled to annex 50% all movable and immovable property that a husband acquired before and after marriage. The wife will have a right to annex only on the assets of the husband and will have no responsibility of his liabilities even the ones incurred during acquiring these assets. Men will still be burdened with the liabilities for these properties and will still have to pay for the free lunch buffet that is the Marriage law amendment bill. So the options left before a husband will be to tolerate his abusive wife or part with half everything he acquired before and during the marriage. A woman would come essentially empty handed into a marriage and would leave loaded when the marriage goes sour.

So there you have it free lunches starting from schooling, under graduation , post graduation culminating with a veritable lunch buffet all at the expense of a person having male genitalia . After all proving free lunches to women in this country is progressive legislation.

Indian Feminists on overdrive on fears of Congress loss in 2014



Indian Feminists on overdrive to pass anti male laws before Congress is booted out in 2014


Sensing an early election and the very strong possibility of Congress being booted out in 2014 owing to it is horrendous performance in last 8 years , the feminist camps in India have gone into a frenzy of drafting new and more draconian laws and getting them passed in last few months of the lame duck government.

This behavior is not surprising since most of India's senseless feminist laws were drafted and passed during the tenure of 2004 till date. Significant amongst these were the Domestic Violence act of 2005 which was passed by the congress even though it was highly criticized for offering no protection to men and being extremely biased and badly drafted. This law was also trashed by the Indian Attorney General at that time and later the Indian Supreme Court. The then woman and child development minister however made many brazen anti male remarks to justify the existence of the law and to show of hatred for males in general. This minister later suffered a humiliationg defeat in 2008 and was not even elected to the Rajya Sabha.

Sensing the delicate political climate and chances of an early election in 2013 , the feminists camps in India in collusion with the Women and Child Development Ministry ( WCD) has gone into an overdrive of law drafting. Never have we seen such a huge laundry wishlist of Anti-Male laws and the urge to get them passed as quickly as possible.

The strategy for making these laws is more or less the same as in , not responding to RTI requests for information on the laws and the debates that went in during drafting them. Conducting closed door meetings with some of the most militant feminists of India and drafting laws which make little sense from the angle of principles of natural justice . Lets take a look at some of the laws being hurried through.


1. The Marraige law amendment Bill 2010 
This law is being moved with war like urgency in the parliament. The Law minister of India for reasons known best to him is inserting amendments almost on a daily basis. The routes for RTI and open debate have been blocked  and the opinions received from the parliamentary committee hearings from the Indian Citizenry on this law have been trashed. The Indian Law minister and Women and Child Development minister has almost taken a dictatorial stance of getting this highly dangerous law passed by hook or crook. The amendments are becoming more and more draconian by the day and the lameduck  cabinet is passing every amendment that is brought to them without giving any due thought to the sensibility of the amendment. To give some examples of the lunacy that is Indian law drafting, the amendment which initially mandated the equitable division of property acquired jointly by the couple has now being morphed into an amendment which mandates the handingover of  50% of the husband's property to the wife and shockingly that includes the property the husband acquired before marriage. There is no mention of division of the property that the wife acquires .The law gives power solely to the wife, to oppose a divorce unless her financial hardship are met and alleviated , however when the wife files for divorce no such option has been made available to the husband. Also the wife gets to keep her streedhan , maintenance and also 50% of the husbands property ( acquired before and after the marriage) . Is this some sort of a joke that the Women and Child Ministry and Law Ministry is playing on the Indian masses ? Also what sort of reviews is the all powerful cabinet doing to even allow the inclusion of such amendments.




2. Amendment of the Dowry Law moved to Fast Track


This is another infamous law of India which saw phenomenal misuse during the UPA1 and UPA2 tenure. The feminists camps are now full steam ahead in making this law even more draconian and inconvenient for husbands. Some of the lunatic features of this law are listed below .

a. Definition of dowry should be changed to include both movable and immovable property as well as asking for any favours from the woman’s parents. This means the husband cannot ever ask for any favors from the wife or her parents , however the wife and her parents can by law extort  50% of the husband's property as a matter of right. Talk about natural justice !!

b. Opportunity to the woman to file a 498a case at the where she permanently or temporarily resides.This means that now the husband has to commute on every hearing date to the place where the woman finds it convenient to file the complaint. This is also voilates the principles of  criminal trial which mandates a jurisdiction of the offence the trial thereof. However the principles of Natural justice and criminal trial normally got to the dogs when feminists draft laws.

c.  Punishment for dowry givers to be reduced on the ground that Women and Child Development Ministry (through the dictatorial powers given to them) have assumed that they are  victims of coercion. This is nothing but a big joke since till date not a single so called dowry giver has been penalized for giving dowry, while more than 100,000 false dowry cases are filed annually by Indian wives. The Supreme Court of India has repeatedly asked the UPA2 Government to amend the dowry law and make it less draconian , but under the current feminist influenced government we are moving in the opposite direction.


Conclusion


Now lets collate the two above laws and see what an ideal marriage would look like in India. The bride and her family would look for the most eligible and well earning bachelor and solemnise a marriage without giving a single paisa of dowry . So far so good .If the marriage sours(40% Indian marriages do) the husband will face a false 498a for which he would have to travel to the place of convenience of his wife for over 9 years . He will also face DV act , CrPC 125 , HMA 24 as the other maintenance laws . Finally after three years of being harrassed in various courts , the husband will have to part with 50% of all his assets(movable and immovable)  that he has acquired since the day he started earning. A husband who is infirm , paralysed , earns less will not even be able to defend his divorce. The right of divorce to the wife is absolute. Just because the wife is now divorced and has grabbed her wealth , the husband worries are still not over as he will still continue to face the false 498a case in a remote location for at least 5 to 6 years more. These laws with cause incalculable damage to the husband and his family financially , emotionally and socially.

Think twice before you marry under Indian marraige laws. You have been warned.

Marraige Law amendment bill - by the Feminists , for the Legal terrorists

Dissatisfied that the DV act did not turn out to be the property grabbing law that had thought it would become after the famous Batra vs Batra judgement of the Honorable Supreme Court , the Indian Feminists are now lobbying for the even more biased and dangerous Marraige Law amendment Bill , which is being brought in with little debate . The bill which proposes to divide the property of the husband as if cheese cake and give most the assest to the wife and the liability to the husband is surprisingly being supported by the Law minister Salman Khurshid for reasons knows best to him. In a hypermaterialistic country with property prices shooting through the roof , this law will cause severe social and marital destruction in all forms.

 
The Marraige Law Amendment bill or MAD bill as it is being referred to in many facebook and other social networks by shocked Indians is being driven by a few womens rights groups , who have also held the country hostage earlier during the amendment of section 498a which was ordered by the Honorable SC itself. However the even most disturing aspect of the bill is that the Government is in a tearing hurry to bring in a law which will lead to sensational chaos , family destruction , murders for property and untimely demise of the 10,000 year old family system. Rewarding vicious women and penalizing innocent men seems to become the motto of the government in recent times as it blindly listens to a few womens organisations who have never taken up the cause of young unmarried girls facing harassment from their own parents, in their natal homes, or the cause of widows who suffer social bias, or the cause of old women being harassed in their families, especially old mothers-in-law tortured by their daughters-in-law.

Feminists have readily taken up and blown the trumpet far out of proportion for young and newly married women because the money lies there. It is a highly politically correct issue to create channels of tax-free wealth transfer from husband to wife because the social role of a PROVIDER has been ascribed to a man and there is no concept of responsibility on a woman, nor are there any penal provisions for a woman not fulfilling her responsibility as a wife in a marriage. Claims by feminists are highly bogus and when they are challenged with actual data, they come up with hollow analogies like Sita and Savitri.First of all, these are all mythological characters and there is no evidence at all if they existed and the stories that we’ve been hearing about them since childhood have any iota of truth in it.

Similar property law in China was amended by the Chinese Supreme Court after severe misuse

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8714097/China-tries-to-stop-women-marrying-for-money-rather-than-love.html

"With divorce rates soaring, and widespread worries about a new culture of hyper-materialism, the Chinese government is now trying to stop women marrying for money. In a bid to temper the rising expectations of Chinese women, China's Supreme Court has now ruled that from now on, the person who buys the family home, or the parents who advance them the money, will get to keep it after divorce.

"Hopefully this will help educate younger people, especially younger women, to be more independent, and to think of marriage in the right way rather than worshipping money so much," said Hu Jiachu, a lawyer in Hunan province. The ruling should also help relieve some of the burden on young Chinese men, many of whom fret about the difficulty of buying even a small apartment. China's huge property bubble has driven property prices in Shanghai up to £5,000 per square metre when annual salaries average just £6,000."

Why the Marraige Law amendment bill is Very dangerous

The most destrictive features of the MAD bill:

1. This is a law drafted by the radical feminists , for the legal terrorists. The law only speaks of the assets of the husband , why is wife also not entitled to 50% of the husbands liabilities ? Is Marraige a relationship to profit for a woman ? In the law a Husband can NOT oppose the Divorce Petition filed by the wife filed under IrBM (In India even Kasab has right to Oppose his case but Husbands are not allowed hence making it Unconstitutional u/s 15 of the Constitution of India)



2. 50% of Residential Property of Husband will be given to wife BY LAW. No Questions asked on Duties, Liabilities. Only Profits are shared. This does not happen even in splits of business under partnership as Liabilities and Duties are also shared equally. Looks Like Government of India does not consider Marriage as even Partnership but only as Proprietorship where all benefits goes to Wife and all losses goes to Husband.

Residential Property of Husband could be before / during the marriage that means that if you are unmarried and you purchase a house, even that will get divided post marriage and Divorce under IrBM.



4. This does NOT do away with the any of the existing penalties to Husbands like Jail, Mulitiple Maintenance, Residence Rights, Protection Rights, in a DV ACT No custody, etc etc.

Wife ONLY gets Right to Property thus forcing Husband, his Old Age Parents and his other dependent family member (unmarried sister, Pregnant sister-in-laws, next generations in the womb of women in the family etc) to die on Streets of India. This is over and above the way Domestic Violence Act that throws out Husband and his Parents & family members in an easy combination of "Right of Residence" and "Protection Order". So, Parental home goes under wife's custody and Husband's Property in any case is 50% hers.



5. With no current clarity of definition of Marital Property, even acquired Parental Property could goto wives. Isnt this a plan to increase male foeticide (which as such is a hidden fact because of women' organisation's pressure)?



6. Since, this inhuman experiment is being done on Hindu Husbands, it will invite other religions (which are not covered under HMA) to get conversions done from Hindu to their community and thus reducing the Hindu Vote Bank and Hinduism from the country.

Demands

Indians demand the immediate resignation of Law Ministry Salman Khurshid for making amendment after amendment in a bill with far reaching consequences without any debate with the citizenary of the nation. Who is he to decide on the future of the Hindu family system in India ? Also we demand that the Women and Child Ministry be relieved from law making with immediate effect since it is clear that that they have locus standi on welfare of men and the family system in general and such a ministry cannot be entrusted to create laws of such sensitive nature . The law needs to be put up for larger public debate and Indian citizens must be allowed to speak and voice their opinons on the MAD bill.
