30 May 10 Juggling two mothers-in-law, woman makes off with 50 lakh
New Delhi: If you are one of those who feel incomplete without a daily dose of their favourite Saas-Bahu serials on TV, then you must know the confounding nature of the relationship between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law.
So when a woman is juggling two mothers-in-law, your sympathies would probably lie with the former. Well, you might reconsider when you hear the rather interesting conduct of this bahu.
Meetu Talwar, a resident of West Delhi, allegedly drugged and robbed her two mothers-in-law off jewellery worth Rs 50 lakh on Friday night. The accused’s husband Nirmohan Singh is a businessman and is currently in the US.
Nirmohan’s father has two wives, Savinder Kaur and Har Kaur; both live with Neetu at A-97, Krishna Park in Tilak Nagar.
On May 14,Meetu Talwar served some mango shake to her mothers-in-law. The elderly women had their fill and went to bed. They woke up next morning at 9 am. (more…)

| Section 498A is so frequently abused, it should be made bailable |
| Odeal D’Souza |

06 Feb 10 Domestic Violence Act or Demoralized and Violated Act
The Domestic Violence Act was passed in 2005.and implemented in 2006 for the protection of women (Wife). But the Law-Makers have completely forgotten or rather ignored the fact that violence can be inflicted by the same wife on the members of the family either mentally, physically, emotionally, verbally, socially and financially in order to gain personal scores, to have financial control or to separate the husband from the parents. According to the law, only the wife can make a complaint and it does not require any proof for her to claim maintenance from the husband. With fabricated stories and crocodile tears she can easily register a false case .The judges feel it is their duty to protect even adulterous wives thus doing injustice to the victim husband and his family.
Each individual coming together make a family and a home. Many homes taken together make a society, a village, a town, a city and a country. But in India gradually the society is breaking up due to the domestic violence happening in each and every home. Why is it that in every family problems start only after a daughter in-law enters the home?
The Government is spending enormously in combating terrorism on the borders of the country but when will the issue of domestic terrorists in the guise of daughter- in- law who Misuses the laws and creates havoc in the families be properly tackled.

30 Dec 09 Biological mother or enemy of daughter
In the Indian society “FEMALE FOETICIDE” is a common term. We generally talk of ‘GIRL CHILD HATRED’ among the parents specially a mother craving for a son and not for a daughter. The “GENDER BIAS” starts from this very thinking. A daughter being regarded as a liability by those parents who wish to encash the “MARRAIGE” of their daughter by marrying her in a family from where they can benefit monetarily is very common in the present society even at cost of hiding the shortcomings of the daughter. They want to “USE” her and so train her accordingly. This is the reason why they marry their “NOT SO GOOD” DAUGHTER” in a “RICH AND WELL TO DO FAMILY” from where they can encash money. A section of parents think it is their right to extort money from the in-laws of the daughter to make up for all that they spent on their daughter in natal home. The popular saying “LADKI PARAYA DHAN”, is used by them to make the” paraya dhan“ of the “SON-In-LAW” (FREE ATM MACHINE) their own by filing false cases of “DOWRY HARASSMENT”, “DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND MAINTENANCE” with help of the police, the lawyers the judiciary ,and the laws supporting them which can be” MISUSED” for this mission.

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.

02 Dec 09 The Harsh Realities of the Indian Feminists
NCW and WCD:
In the recent past a lot has been said about “Women Empowerment” by the National Commission for Women (NCW) and the Women and Child Development Ministry (WCD) Ministry. But not much has been done in practicality.
The reality:
On Saturday the 21st Nov 2009 a program titled “NAMAK” was telecast on the DD News channel at about 3 P.M. Very strange but true facts have come out in the open. In a remote village of Kutch named “Khargoda” which is ironically called the “WIDOW’S VILLAGE” since in most of the families there are widows living below the poverty line (BPL). Their children are undernourished with no means of proper education and not even provided with the basic necessities of life. The widows find it very difficult to cope with such poverty due to lack of livelihood as they do not get the means to earn a living. Their husbands had died because while working in salt manufacturing industries, by contracting skins diseases and other ailments sans proper treatment. It is miserable to see their pitiable conditions.
