Dowry frame-up is cruelty against husband
Posted by 498A_Crusader on January 21, 2008
New Delhi: A city court, while granting divorce to a husband has held that his wife’s false allegations of dowry harassment against him amount to cruelty. In this case the husband had sought a divorce from his wife to whom he had been married to 33 years as he claimed that his wife had been cruel to him by lodging several false complaints against him.
Additional district judge Atul Kumar Garg, said in a recent order: ‘‘It has been proved that the wife has treated the husband with cruelty as no person expects misbehaviour from his wife and to send him to jail by lodging several complaints.’’
Admitting the divorce plea of the husband, who spent a few days in jail due to his wife’s false complaints, the court observed that his wife had in her testimony denied levelling dowry charges against him. ‘‘By claiming this, she belied her own allegations levelled against her husband in various other judicial and quasi-judicial fora,’’ the court said. The couple’s children had also spoken in favour of their father before the Delhi Police’s Crime Against Women (CAW) cell. TNN

What does law & justice say regarding such false cases againt innocent husband. It is also true that there are really some cruel husbands existing on earth and there are real cases of cruelty against women that has been seen & witnessed, but this does not imply that all such cases are true. Here, comes the matter of ego of the egoistic wife & her family who frame such false cases against her husband & in-laws when they fail to get things done accordingly to their will & wishes. I myself is a victim of this instance. Now its time to rebel & revolt against this social vituperation. Lets take a stand.

Yes, its true. Filing false case of Dowry by the Wife on her husband and his Relatives definately comes under cruelty. I am also victim of the same case. My wife and her Parents want me to Leave my Parents alone when I refused them, they filed a False Dowry case against me and my Parents. I think there is huge need of amendments of 498A.
