If the news of NCW mismanaging its funds was not enough, here they go again at wasting more funds on non-issues.
Kicking bahu not cruelty? SC to review
The National Commission for Women, through counsel Aparna Bhat, moved a curative petition requesting reconsideration of the judgment in the case between Bhaskar Lal Sharma and his daughter-in-law Monica. Curative petitions normally have a 99% failure rate in the apex court.
NCW said the ruling would defeat the very purpose of the provision to protect women from cruelty and harassment in matrimonial homes.
Yeah… if you define cruelty to woman the way a feminist defines: “like he looked at me in a strange way, and I was terrified”
NCW had reflected the views of Karat who had said the apex court’s decision would only “further deepen the miseries of women and undo the effect of various legislations passed for the emancipation of women”.
Oh please, the revered section 498a of IPC that is being talked about has less than 1% conviction rate. 300-400 times no of men and families are being arrested under this law for emancipation of 1 woman! People from other planets will have to put behind bars before all women in India could be emancipated by usage of this law.
The NCW said in its petition: “The manner in which `cruelty’ is defined makes it clear that each condition is exclusive to each other. Hence, section 498A is not confined to dowry demand. It includes demand for dowry and resultant harassment caused to women but also includes cruelty in matrimony caused to the women without the demand for dowry.”
And NCW fails to mention that the cruelty must of of kind to threaten life or limb of woman, or such mental cruelty which could drive her to commit suicide.
