People get what they deserve
This news in Hindi says that a family was saved from breakup because though the wife and in-laws wanted to file false complaint of torture under 498a against husband and in-laws; an accidental voice recording showed that it was a con-game and so it boomeranged on wife and in-laws. So far so good! But the hilarious part is that the husband’s family still are willing to live with their lovely daughter in law! That’s why I love the saying: “God helps them who help themselves”… दहेज़ निवारण अधिनियम की भेंट चढ़ने से बच गया एक परिवार: वाराणसी, १३ अप्रैल २०१०इसे …[Continue Reading]

NRIs having children beware of abusive spouse
According to recent SC judgment, a precedent has been created in favour of law-abusing NRI spouses. Matrimonial ‘offenders’ can’t be extradited: SC It is known fact that India is not signatory to Hague convention which means child custody orders in foreign courts are not of significance in India. This means that an Indian parent who ‘abducts’ own child in foreign country and brings to India can’t be touched by laws of adopted country. Even if she/he has foreign court orders against her/him the orders cannot be enforced or respected while in India. So all NRIs who have abusive spouse have …[Continue Reading]
