The Power of Indian Woman.
October 17th 2008 04:06
In INDIA there is such a society where you see marriage is treated as sacrosanct, something which was fixed in heaven by god. That funda you find in Hindi movies a lot. It is a kind of relationship valid not only in this life but also in lives yet to come. So this relationship is changing a lot and the marriage law has been playing a very important role in altering this relationship. These laws were primarily designed to protect the vulnerable women in society One thing is common in all laws- they are prejudiced and biased against the men in the sense that they give rights only to the wives and imposes duties only to the husband. The judiciary, while sympathizing with the tears of women, didn’t recognize the fact that these may be crocodile tears. Because of these reasons these marriage laws has become a tool for a woman to harass husbands, extort money & property from husbands and their family. You might have read in a newspaper these kind of harassment . but the law itself does not take any legal action against her- this is women empowerment. Under this Section octogenarian grand mom of husbands are being prosecuted for harassment- this is power she got from the law.
Generally Speaking , these marriage laws have made marriage more a legal relationship than a social relationship.
The law presumes, everybody knows laws. Marriage is a voluntary relationship, in the sense that till this point of time there is no law which can compel a man to marry although in practice some women have compel men to marry them by leveling false allegation of rape against them. Thus every man must know the legal provisions before he enters into the legal relationship of marriage. If he enters without knowing these provisions, he cannot blame any other persons for that. However, it is the duty of legal practitioners and social workers to make them aware of these laws so that nobody dare to enters into a legal relationship of marriage without knowing its implications. . We are living in such a society where we have Rules of Law and when the law is tyrannical and prejudiced, We cannot have a solution.
