Recently someone sent email via our NGO website and upon my reply to his email giving some basic advice and further suggestion to join our groups, he replied back asking with a profound question, which triggered the need for writing this article. His full email had only one sentence: “ok thank u but is there no law which supports men can police help”. As an aside, I am unable to understand why do some people (though it has come down a lot) reply to my email asking a further question ignoring the standard large sized red coloured matter at the end of my every email: “I will not reply to personal emails for advice in future. Guidance is given only inside groups.”? My guess is that many a man facing cases from their wives, somehow feel entitled to ignore such ‘minor’ inconvenient … [Read more...] about Is there any law which supports men?

I have already outlined in this post in some detail on how to handle such now-I-hate-you-now-I-want-you type of wife.

And in fact, my answer suggests the right way for a layman/citizen to approach police, because the alternative is for a citizen to learn up on IPC before approaching police, … [Read more...] about Women Safety: If someone is threatening a person via calls and messages , what charges can be pressed against him/her (in India)?
