This judgment from Supreme Court in October 2016 changed PWDVA (Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act), 2005 in a fundamental way. Until this SC judgment, the DV Act allowed for complaint to be filed only against an adult male of the household, and whether other females could also be included as respondents along with adult male(s) was interpreted differently in different judgments, because the basic definition of word respondent included only adult males under Section 2(q) of the act. Basically the DV Act was created on behest of feminist lobby by roping in the beta males and virtue signalling crowd and easily shamed aspiring middle classes as useful idiots; and it was practically made only for wives to file complaints on their husbands and ask for various reliefs like … [Read more...] about Allow DV complaints on females in household by removing requirement of “adult male” from definition of respondent – Supreme Court judgment

The 18 seconds long video can be seen on YouTube below: Time sequence of events at Jaipur Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) It seems the actual incident happened 2 weeks back on March 13th and Cafe Coffee Day didn’t respond to Arpan’s legal notice sent on March 21st, but the whole thing started to unfold as a drama after the video went viral on Twitter and social media on March 27th.

Basic Cross-examination techniques in matrimonial cases like DV, CrPC 125, Divorce, 498A, 406 etc
Cross examination is probably the most important stage where false cases filed by wives can get demolished – and at the end of it what looked like kevlar plated armour of a wife’s case looks worse than torn underwear. The gynocentric and women-protecting System will always try not to let the cases reach this stage and which is the reason the so called counselling by CAW/mahila thana etc, mediations in DV or in family courts are preferred routes to nip the possibility of any fight being put up by husband in the bud. He is given the carrot of mutual consent divorce and withdrawal of all cases in return for settlement money to wife. What all ‘justice’ can’t a bunch of money buy? For those who have decided to go beyond the initial pain and uncertainty and willing to run it like a marathon … [Read more...] about Basic Cross-examination techniques in matrimonial cases like DV, CrPC 125, Divorce, 498A, 406 etc
Wife’s attempt to separate husband’s parents, suicide attempt, unfounded allegation of extra-marital affair considered mental cruelty on husband for divorce – Supreme court judgment
News about this Supreme Court judgment have started appearing in many newspapers with the headlines which like “forcing husband to separate from his parents” or “forcing Hindu son to separate from parents” amounts to cruelty, and so on. As it happens, news headlines may a time don’t reflect the full picture of logic inside a judgment, and sometimes news reports may even highlight a secondary part of the judgment as the main reason when in fact the judgment was based mainly on other factors. This site contains very few judgments on topic of divorce, and the reasons are explained in detail in this and this post. The reason of covering this judgment here are that people shouldn’t get complacent that one judgment (though important one given that it’s by SC) about … [Read more...] about Wife’s attempt to separate husband’s parents, suicide attempt, unfounded allegation of extra-marital affair considered mental cruelty on husband for divorce – Supreme court judgment
Audio recording between husband and wife is admissible evidence – Mumbai HC, 2011
Many a time there is doubt raised by people about value of having an audio recording which goes on the lines of: “My lawyer says that audio recording….<add here something to effect of not good, not useful, not admissible etc etc.>” That audio recordings are not admissible or good evidence are just lazy excuses or convenient myths which are spread to steer husbands towards the C-word (read other posts on this site to know the meaning of C-word). And what’s surprising is this: sometimes the same people would be fearful that wife or in-laws may have recorded something of their conversation which will show them in bad light. So when husband records something, it can’t be useful, but one must be scared of wife’s recording! Can anyone see the logic here except the logic of … [Read more...] about Audio recording between husband and wife is admissible evidence – Mumbai HC, 2011
