Does Karnataka HC judgment allows for DV complaints on wives by husbands?
The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, or PWDVA, 2005 or DV Act in short, is very clear on one point. It is only for protection of women (practically speaking only wives use it) in a household. The name of the act itself makes it very clear. Update 28/04/2017: This order has been withdrawn, see end of post for screenshot from Karnataka HC website. Then this High Court of Karnataka judgment (text below) comes along, which seems to redefine the whole DV Act itself, by suggesting that a complaint filed by husband on wives and in-laws should be …[Continue Reading]
Allow DV complaints on females in household by removing requirement of “adult male” from definition of respondent – Supreme Court judgment
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 …[Continue Reading]

A recent judgment by Supreme Court has caused a minor earthquake in manosphere, since the same SC judgment was reported by a major newspaper with the headline that SC has set 25% of husband’s (net) salary as a benchmark amount of maintenance/alimony to wife. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/supreme-court-sets-alimony-benchmark-25-of-ex-husbands-net-salary/articleshow/58288399.cms It’s not just the youthful and “our opinion” papers like TOI, but even business papers have started reporting similar ‘benchmark’ type news, basically they are just doing copy-paste reporting from the first news written with a catchy headline: http://www.livemint.com/Politics/MGxqoOu55sw6VN7Jppo8EL/SC-sets-25-of-exhusbands-net-salary-as-benchmark-for-alim.html Immediately, those husbands who are having pending matrimonial litigation started re-calculating what damage this judgment can do …[Continue Reading]

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 …[Continue Reading]
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.
