Friends, many a husbands have gone through the un-envious situation of having to deal with a wife who has dragged them to CAW cell/mahila thana, to police, or filed cases like DV/CrPC 125; and if that was not enough, later she proclaims that she wants to come back, or even files an RCR (restitution of conjugal rights) petition on husband in family court. 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. But I have realized that the “thanks but no thanks” approach is not working out for many husbands, …[Continue Reading]
Women Safety: If someone is threatening a person via calls and messages , what charges can be pressed against him/her (in India)?
My reply to this question on Quora was flagged as not being a direct reply to question asked: —————– Your answer doesn’t answer the questionThis answer should directly respond to the specific question asked. —————– The reason I didn’t give a supposedly direct answer was that I was asked by someone to answer this question, and another person before me had given plenty of direct information in his reply, so I decided to give a reply which will be more educative than making a person depend on asking a different question for every small doubt – avoiding the the spoon …[Continue Reading]
Is the term Feminazi overrated?
Recently, I received notice from Quora about one of my answers on their site: We recently found some of your content (Vivek Deveshwar’s answer to Is the term Feminazi overrated?) that violates Quora’s Be Nice, Be Respectful policy (See What is Quora’s “Be Nice, Be Respectful” policy?). Not only that, Quora has requested me to update one of my other answers so that it answers the question more directly. Quora Moderation has flagged your answer to “Women Safety: If someone is threatening a person via calls and messages , what charges can be pressed against him/her (in India)?” as not …[Continue Reading]
Husband’s EMI towards house to be considered in CrPC 125 Maintenance to wife – SC Judgment
This is somewhat old judgment of Supreme Court, and it brings an important consideration which was overlooked by lower courts: Which was neglecting to consider monthly EMI paid by husband towards housing loan. The order reduced maintenance amount from Rs 10,000 to Rs 5,000 p.m. While this may cause cheers to readers, it should be noted that the in-hand salary of husband is Rs 9,000 p.m, so effectively he has to now survive on Rs 4,000 p.m. Somehow the facts of the case don’t add up for me. There must be more to it than the numbers mentioned in the …[Continue Reading]
How to draft a child custody (GWC) petition
This is a rough and quick post on a template for child custody, since many fathers are asking for templates on the same. I am giving some general looking points, and one has to replace them with those applicable to own situation. A child custody petition is filed under Guardians and Wards Act, and in courts these cases carry the acronym GWC. So if you tell your advocate that you want to file GWC petition, he/she would understand that you mean child custody. The sole or paramount consideration in child custody decisions is welfare of child, so first drive out …[Continue Reading]

Sailing two boats – how pretenders end up making fools of themselves
There’s a saying: you can’t sail in two boats at the same time. But I see even in men rights groups (like our Facebook group) — from deciphering some of the questions and comments — that people want to sail in two boats at the same time: Boat 1/Survival-Slave: Possibility of living together (or more correctly under the same roof) with a manipulative, narcissistic, toxic female who calls herself your wife. This inspite of she abusing you/mother/father, giving suicide threats etc. This is the Survival Boat, other synonyms being Zombie, Slave, Pet-Dog-of-Wife-In-Laws Boat. Boat 2/Dignity-Self-Respect: Some unavoidable pain and uncertainty …[Continue Reading]

Critique and comments on Draft National Policy for Women, 2016
Following are my comments on Draft National Policy for Women, 2016: 1.6 Several paradoxical trends have been observed in the past few years. The growing acknowledgement of gender rights and equality is juxtaposed against increase in reporting of various forms of violence against women such as rape, trafficking, dowry etc.; Above conclusion is given without any statistical data, to demonstrate if increase in rape, dowry etc are much higher than population growth. 1.8 The current status of women with respect to human development parameters, legal rights for women to life and freedom from violence, economic and social discrimination and their …[Continue Reading]
Presumptions in law in crimes against women and matrimonial law
Most of the criminal law is based on what society perceives as common sense standards of acceptable or non-acceptable behaviour in a given situation, where one’s actions can cause harm to others for no justifiable reason. For example, murder is a crime in all cultures and societies, because no one wants to risk getting deprived of his/her life at little or no notice; and society has agreed that taking away someone’s life has to have very good reasons for doing it. Same reasoning would apply to lesser crimes like theft — that one cannot deprive another person of property or …[Continue Reading]
