Misuse of dowry laws in India
In blatant violation of Human Rights, many husbands & their families are arbitrarily arrested without any investigation/evidence, under Indian Penal Code section 498A & other wife-biased laws. According to 498a section, words of wife are taken Prima facie and husband & his family can be arrested. The law presumes the accused are “guilty until proven innocent”. The situation is also affecting residents of Indian origin in UK & negatively impacting their work and life. Many of such residents in UK have to travel to India and fight false allegations. We request the Hon’ble Prime Minister to help:
1. Offer travel advisories like in USA for people travelling to India.
2. To offer options to fight false cases.
3. To discuss with Indian counter-parts, to make amendments in the law, to stop its abuse.
