SECTION 498-B IPC, A MUCH NEEDED REFORM

False cases, abuse, Domestic violence and harassment against men by their spouse and family members has become an important issue in today’s generation and judiciary called it LEGAL TERRORISM. But because of feminist lobby and National commission of women (NCW) or WCD strong opposition to make it gender neutral, men still face threats in their everyday life.

Most of the cases of abuse and threats go unreported so it is difficult to get exact number on fake cases and threats and it is even more difficult to figure out that how many men are suffering from abuse, fake cases threat of or domestic violence.

The main reason that most of the abuse, fake cases against the men are unreported, because Indian society think men cannot be victims in the hands of women and the traditional gender roles in society and the stigma of the perceived weakness, shame to admit or confess of falling victim to a woman.

There is no study on men, nor Government of India made any efforts evaluate psychological / mental trauma on men because of such abuse and violence. So we from MyNation foundation came up with amendment to INDIAN PENAL CODE (IPC) SECTION 498B A MUCH NEEDED REFORM
