There is real good news for all those feminist mother in laws, who celebrated when the abominable DV Act (PWDVA) was passed. Due to a their collective sad karma some of them later got the short end of the stick when their daughter in laws realized their newly discovered route of quick women-empowerment-by-filing-DV-case-on-in-laws and starting kicking them. Now Delhi HC has upheld the DV case filed by a mother in law on her daughter in law (see judgment below). Let the feminist mother in laws rejoice, after all now they can now file the case at least, not sure if they would like to win it though since it will fly in the face of their much touted cause of ‘women empowerment’. And on a larger scale, the games will be going on for time to come in Indian families. No body should be left … [Read more...] about Let the games begin–MIL can file DV on DIL

All women in household deserve protection under PWDVA
When laws are made to satisfy whims of a few feminazis, the result is such litigation as in this Delhi case below. It is to the credit of few judges who come out with such judgments every once in a while which puts brakes on the onslaught unleashed by Domestic Violence industry. Some excerpts of the judgment are below followed by full text later: The misuse and abuse of the Act is a matter of serious concern for the courts who are required to be careful and ensure that a woman petitioner is not made a puppet or pawn in the hands of her male relatives so as to manipulate the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and use it for ulterior motives. ... At the very outset I may observe that merely because the revisionist no.3 Smt. Sarika Mehta happen to be the … [Read more...] about All women in household deserve protection under PWDVA

Jurisdiction of foreign court in divorce; When domestic relationship exists; no PWDVA after divorce
The important part of judgment are made in bold below. The funny part is that lower court judge does not give reasoned order based on merits of case, but prefers to show erudition by quoting from an author’s work.: “being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men” It is said a judge speaks from his judgements, but if one wants to score points with feminists, without going into merits of case, then it is better left for scholarly work after retirement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI Date of Reserve: 6th July, 2010 Date of Order: 29th July, 2010 + Crl.

Delhi HC says live-in relationship invariably initiated and perpetuated by male
I could not make sense out of it. Even though Supreme Court ruled so much in a recent judgment on Khushboo’s case that live-in relationships are a reality in society, the Delhi HC judgment in a PWDVA (Domestic Violence Act) case below seems to put all burden on men of initiating and perpetuating a live-in relationship. Actually, it says an assumption can fairly be drawn. On what common sense, or any other basis was this assumption drawn is of course a mystery. What is not a mystery is that many court decisions will continue to treat women as children without a will or decision making capability of their own, when the issue at hand is granting some relief to women. … [Read more...] about Delhi HC says live-in relationship invariably initiated and perpetuated by male
Married sister gets relief under domestic violence act
Good for this lady, but unless citizens rise up together against injustice in the name of women protection laws, they will be wasting their energy and time in fighting lone battles… Married sister can’t be booked under DV Act New Delhi, May 10, 2010 Married sisters of a man, living separately from the joint family, cannot be prosecuted under the Domestic Violence (DV) Act on a complaint of his wife, a Delhi court has held. Additional Sessions Judge Kamini Lau expressed concern over “misuse” of special laws by making women parties in the petitions just because they happened to be sisters of the man. “Married sisters residing in their own matrimonial houses are not a part of the shared household or joint family, as contemplated under the Domestic Violence Act,” the court said. It, … [Read more...] about Married sister gets relief under domestic violence act
