AAP’s Somnath Bharti faces DV complaint from wife – lessons for husbands

June 11, 2015 by videv

After catching snippets of news on social media, TV, online news about domestic violence case filed by wife on Somnath Bharti -- once law minister in first AAP government in Delhi --  I decided to delve into some of the patterns followed by wives, and also possibly some right ‘moves’ made by Mr Bharti so far.  Let’s start with Firstpost’s rendition of the DV complaint as it unfolds: http://www.firstpost.com/india/allegations-of-domestic-violence-baseless-somnath-bharti-reacts-as-wife-files-complaint-with-dcw-2289290.html In more controversy for ruling Aam Aadmi Party, its MLA and former Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti was on Wednesday slapped with notices by Delhi Commission for Women after his wife filed a complaint levelling charges of domestic violence, mental torture, … [Read more...] about AAP’s Somnath Bharti faces DV complaint from wife – lessons for husbands

Right of daughter-in-law in in-laws’ property under review by Supreme Court

September 27, 2014 by videv

Even when the case is genuine, no action can be taken against the daughters-in-law under the law. The minister feels that the law should protect all women, regardless of their relationship with the oppressor. We are exploring legal options and will move an amendment soon,” said a source close to Maneka. In India, abuse of mothers in laws by daughters in law may be wished away as utter nonsense by those brought up on diet of Ekta Kapoor’s TV serials, but the … [Read more...] about Proposal to amend Domestic Violence (DV) Act to protect mothers in law
