IN SUPPORT OF THE RECENT JUDGMENT OF THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
whereby it clarified that gifts are not dowry



We support Supreme Court’s recent Judgment whereby it clarified that gifts are not dowry (as per news report in TOI)Demand for Gift after marriage is not Dowry Says Supreme Court of India
The Supreme Court has ruled that demand for money and presents from parents of a married girl at the time of birth of her child or for other ceremonies, as is prevalent in society, may be depreciable but cannot be categorized as dowry to make it a punishable offence. This means, if a daughter-in-law is being harassed for customary gifts by parents-in-law, then they could be booked under ordinary penal provisions but not under the tough anti-dowry laws providing stringent punishments. Acquitting the parents-in-law of a woman who had accused them of harassing her for dowry, a Bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat and S Sathasivam took help of a 2001 judgment of SC to say that not all demands from the parents-in-law could be categorized as dowry under the Dowry Prohibition Act. It said though the Act covers payment of money or articles during, before or after marriage by the girls parent to her in-laws, the cash and presents given had to have a link with the marriage to become objectionable in law. Other payments which are customary payments, for example given at the time of birth of a child or other ceremonies as are prevalent in different societies, are not covered by the expression dowry, said Justice Pasayat, writing the judgment for the Bench.
A Haryana trial court had continued the dowry harassment charges against the woman's husband while acquitting the parents-in-law, the married sister and brother of the husband. Though the high court allowed quashing of charges against the sister and brother, it said the parents-in-law were liable to be proceeded against. The apex court said that when the trial court had held that an attempt had been made by the woman to rope in as many relatives of her husband as possible, the HC should have given some reasons while reversing a well-reasoned order.
It said judicial discipline demanded the HCs to give clear reasons when reversing a trial court order backed by facts. Reasons substitute subjectivity by objectivity. The emphasis on recording reasons is that if the decision reveals the 'inscrutible face of the sphinx', it can, by its silence, render it virtually impossible for the courts to perform their appellate function or exercise the power of judicial review in adjudicating the validity of the decision, the Bench said.

Prior to this ruling, our lawmakers as well as the radical feminist organizations had never opened their eyes or tried to understand the basis behind the same, and the result was more and more misuse of Dowry Laws. Thus far, we have been silent witnesses to the extortion of money or obtaining custody and a legal advantage in the divorce case in more than 98% of the false dowry complaints (as per the court records), where it is the wife’s family that is demanding and taking money from the husband’s family in open court (in return for them agreeing to have the husband/his family released from jail) and the same is not considered a crime.

The bride and groom’s family in every culture around the world give gifts. Dowry itself is a bogus word that did not exist in India prior to the arrival of the British who had been practicing it for centuries (without a single dowry complaint having been filed in England). However, the word ‘Dowry’ has been misused by the radical Indian feminist organizations and the greedy/money minded girls’ families who hide behind the word ‘Dowry’ and cheat their own daughter/sisters basic right on Streedhan and equal right in parental property and always treat the husband’s family as a free ATM machine.

The Save Family Foundation and their associate organizations, and even Ms. Madhu Kiswar, have continuously demanded and urged that if any one harasses others for any money or property the same should be termed as Extortion or Blackmail. However, our lawmakers failed to accept that. Finally, the Supreme Court of India has understood that each and every dispute should not be termed as Dowry Harassment which is one small step towards stopping the Legal Terrorism and rampant Misuse of 498A, DV act and CRPC125 maintenance act.

Every 4 minutes in India an innocent person (who never demanded any dowry or money from the wife/daughter-in-law) including old mothers/pregnant sisters/children are facing false and fabricated Dowry cases and sent behind bars without any evidence (since no evidence is required and 498A is non-bailable). Despite the Law commission and various judges’ recommendations to make 498A a bailable offence, our lawmakers have not made any effort to save the innocent people who are being victimized by the abusive women and their families. We must stop this legal terrorism (as termed by the Supreme Court of India) by our radical women organizations that openly advocates and legitimizes adultery by the wife and killing of the unborn child (against the husband’s wishes).

We applaud the recent judgment of the Supreme Court of India whereby it clarifies that gifts are not dowry. We request the Supreme Court of India to set up an in-depth review by a panel of happily married lawyers, retired judges, elders and representatives from the men’s organizations that should also look into the complaints regarding the misuse of these laws. All laws that affect families should also take into account that mothers and sisters are women too, and it takes two to tango.

The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Batra v Batra rightly decided that the right should only available to a woman in a household owned by the husband and not in the household owned by the in laws, even though it may have been the shared household. In a country where the joint family pattern of residence is then norm, any other judgment virtually gives a license to women to throw out senior citizens from the own home with the help of a bad law. Every family has a right to live free from abuse. Denial of the right to reside in their own home for senior citizens is one of the most extreme forms of abuse, rendering the parents and grandparents homeless and insecure. There are numerous concerted efforts being made among the radical women’s groups to abuse these badly drafted gender baised laws.


We, the undersigned, therefore support the Supreme Court of India whereby it clarified that gifts are not dowry and request the following:


· Review the complaints of all those crying of misuse of these laws and by taking appropriate steps in the Supreme Court of India.
· Appoint full time qualified Investigating Officers (who should be held responsible if any misuse of the law is reported) and notifies Service Providers and medical facilities.
· Impose legal sanctions all women (and their helpers) who are misusing the law.
· We request all of you to sign this e – petition to support the above-mentioned ruling of the Supreme Court of India. Please write letters separately to the Chief Justice of India with copies to us:


We also request you to forward it further amongst your partners, networks and friends.

 If there is any organisation which can save the society from such legal terrorism it is only the supreme court of India. If TADA can be removed for its rampant misuse then why not these sections like section 498(A) where misuse is much more than TADA.

 Dowry laws are created to favor the female. On just a complaint, she could destroy the entire family of the boy.

Why is law assuming that the female is always right and male is always wrong?

I am ashamed to be born in India, where right means female and wrong means male.

 "dowry" at the time of marriage they say it is gift, but any dispute occurs it becomes dowry.
If this is so then from marriage to begining of dispute whatever husband spent on his wife, who'll return that money.
If other side their is no huminity, then why guys and their family members show huminity.
this law is just meant for vote bank, nothing else.

 Here again one more victim of DV act and 498a. After 12 years of marriage my wife living in adulterous relationship is caught and she files all possible cases of DV and harassment. Little is she realizing of what damage has she done to my daughter and breach of my trust. She is trying to extort money from me and she says its legal and cool demand of Rs.50k per month. This could only happen because of gender specific laws which help women commit adultery and roam scot-free. She is happy that I am filing for divorce too. She gets what she want. Free ATM machine from my side and free SEX from her BF. God should not forgive such lawmakers who makes such laws and break families. Millions of curses to those who still do not act . One day will come when these people will suffer and fall into grave dug up for others.

 Well, a fair example of the victim of 498A is myself. I was born and brought up in a well cultured family with high respect towards women. Personally I always respected them and I had lots of hopes and ambitions towards my married life which was clearly explained to my wife before marriage itself. She has known me for 4 months in and out before the marriage and we got married. We didn't even asked them even a single rupee as dowry. Ours is a reputed and respectable family in the society. My wife and their parents have a westernised kind of mentality and they do not keep in touch with any of the relatives and they always wanted to be so reserved. I am the one who would like to be with everyone. This girl could not adjust at all and made all the false alligations on me and my family members and they have ddemanded for 18 lakh rupees as compensation. They have given 3.5 lakhs as a gift to their daughter though we objected giving it. She filed 498A against me and made use of her relative's influence (One of the Bangalore IGs for crime)and harrassed me for money by keeping me in the police station for 3 days without any arrest warrant. I am still interested in my wife and I can take care of her very well. I explained the same to each and every official and I preyed them to have her councelled. But no body has taken the initiative to councel us.

We agreed to give 6 lakhs and we are awaiting for one year to comeplete (4 more months to go).
I wonder what the constitution makers are doing if the 498A and other dowry cases are being misused by the girls and their families. I accept the fact that some of the girls are really facing the harrassment but most of the cases are false. The innocent people (including senior citizens) are being dragged to the police stations and courts and being harrassed for hefty amounts. Can't the government or the supreme court take any immediate action to save the innocent people? If the supreme court has the responsibility of saving the innocent girls they also do have the responsibility of saving the innocent husbands and their families. I prey each and every judges, constitution makers and the government officials to take an immediate action or remedy to save the innocent people and to save the indian culture and family values.

 My ex wife also launched a false cases just because of gender biased and women favored law. She has roped all my family members (6 person)to keep behind bars. I have documents to prove that she has launched a false cases still cases are going. All we are taking about nation terriorism and terrorist. A lady to whom i had taken all care has done a terrorism in my family but nobody is bothering about that.
I lost my job, facing defemation in society because of her.That is because of only all these women favored and gender biased laws must be changed immediately.

 It wont be long before Indian Men come out in the open on the street to demand gender equality because it the men who are suffering now and suffering extremely badly. Uncontrolled powers are these laws which are corrupting not just the indian women but destroying the indian society and the country as a whole. Even lawyers misguide women in an attempt to win the cases in courts, anyone attempting to misuse law knowingly should be punished severly

 Well this is the matter which involves the socail,customery and family factors.Whenever a legislation is framed it is framed to negate the evils of socieity,and whatso ever there is always advantages and dis-advantages of any law or act.The measure is to see wheather the adavntages are more than dis-adavantages is the deciding factor for mantaining the law so framed.This is to be remambered that during 1980's the dowery deaths was in hike the birdes were burnt in the lust of dowery,what would had been the remedy,was the real concern of law and justice and today when the results are apparant that the dowry deaths decreased and the law came at the rescue of brushing aside the evil of society.Now the question arises wheather the laws related to domestic voilance should be made lesser punitive or treated as offences of lesser gravity? My answer will be NO.An offence is an offence and when it is indicted upon weaker persons the same should be of more seriously dealtThe constitution of india is one of itself where there is no gender discrimination,but unfortunately when one is not scared of GOD under whose oath the legislator sits and judges pledge their duties with utmost care and,then what is the source that could make evils to get lessened from the society.I think the need is to frame cells for family voilance or else related factors where the investigation is to be setup upon the complaint so recieved so as to see wheather the complaint is geniuine or just abuse of process of law,and the complainant should be put under the constant observation and before cating upon the complaint the facts should be established.If a woman approaches to lodge an FIR she must at reasonable terms be asked to provide a witness who would testify that the complainant is being harassed as the next door neighbours cant be unaware of the facts since this is INDIA and here the society is traditional and or there are many means to set right the loop holes in the laws,needs observation,suggestions,and control,which is the real and sole solution to stop the abuse of law and to put it on the track of welfare............
