30 Dec 09 The Biased Judiciary

The Judges of courts are sitting on a” Responsible “and “Accountable “position. They have to be “unbiased “and” unprejudiced” in the court proceedings as well as in giving Judgments without any partiality after thoroughly hearing and studying the pros and cons of each case.

Since in the recent past many such laws like the “Section 498A”, ”The Domestic Violence Act “, “Section 125 CrPC”, “Child Custody” etc. are being “Misused” by the greedy and  malicious ”young wives” who on some “False Complaints” and “Concocted Allegations” on their in-laws, harass  a whole family  for their “Personal Scores” or “Monetary” Gains”.

We have surveyed many such cases where the judges are “Biased and Prejudiced” towards the “Husband and his family” and “Over-Protective and Supportive” towards “Adulterous Wives” in passing orders of “Maintenance and Alimony” even knowing that it is a False Case; the judges are reluctant to give judgments in favor of a “Husband” as he is already supposed to be guilty and criminal before being proven one. They think it is their moral and ethical duty to support even ‘Adulterous  Wives” by granting them favors, making adjournments by giving unnecessary dates to drag the case and finally giving a “Judgment” which  is not justified as it is based on the presumption  of  the “Allegations” to be true without the necessity of them being  verified. They are accepted as “Gospel Truth’ from times immemorial.

09 Sep 09 Mothers-in-law band together to fight ‘cruel’ stereotype

Written by Gulf Times

New Delhi : Hundreds of mothers-in-law have come together to form an organisation to fight harassment and abuse by their sons’ wives, news reports said yesterday. Between 500 and 700 women from across India launched the All-India Mothers-in-Law Protection Forum (AIMPF) in Bangalore on Sunday, local newspapers reported yesterday.
The organisation will be supported by the Save India Family Foundation, a non-governmental agency set up recently for husbands who allege harassment by their wives, the Times of India newspaper reported.
The new group will work to break the “cruel woman” stereotype reinforced by Indian TV soap operas and demand protection against torture and abuse by daughters-in-law.
AIMPF members include forensic experts, lawyers, doctors, teachers, other professionals and housewives.
“It has been statistically established that mothers-in-law are unnecessarily maligned and subjected to judgmental attitudes by society. On television, we are shown as vamps, while in reality we are the victims,” said coordinator Neena Dhulia.

07 Sep 09 Press Release:Launch of All India Mother-in-law Protection Forum (AIMPF)

PRESS RELEASE

Sub: Launch of All India Mother-in-law Protection Forum (AIMPF)

All India Mother-in-Law Protection Forum (AIMPF) is the first ever social forum created to protect the rights and interests of the mother-in-law. It is a non-funded non-profit organization which will create awareness about the problems faced by mothers-in-law and also fight against the de-facto villainous projection in the socio-legal arena. It can be reached at http://www.aimpf.org .

The mothers-in-law could not bear the harassment any further and said, “Enough is enough” and got together to campaign against:

  1. The stereotyping of mothers-in-law as evil and blood thirsty by media and popular culture. This violates the civil liberties and the constitutional provisions of right to liberty and right to life.
  2. It has been scientifically and also statistically established fact that mothers-in-law are unnecessarily maligned and subjected to judgmental attitudes by society.
  3. National Family Health Survey (NFHS) (http://www.nfhsindia.org Vol-1 Page 500) has conclusively established that a woman in the age group of 15-49 years of age faces 8 times more violence from her own mother compared to mother-in-law. 13.7% women have faced violence from their own mother as compared to 1.7% women who have faced from their mothers-in-law.
  4. Recent Research has shown that “daughters-in-law are programmed to hate mothers-in-law”. This is one of the most important causes of the stereotyping of mothers-in-law in society.
