11 Nov 09 A twist to the saas-bahu saga
They are looked upon with suspicion, Hindi soaps portray them as scheming, and when you get married, you are advised to fulfill her needs before yours. But in the modern times, tables seem to have turned. It’s the age of the daughter-in-law, rue mothers-in-law, who have come together to form Akhila Karnataka Atheya Rakshana Vedike (Karnataka Mother-in-law Protection Forum), supporting Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF). Over 100 mothers-in-law are a part of this association. “We have come together to fight against our daughters-in-law who have slapped false complaints against families by misusing Sec 498 (a) of the Indian Penal Code,” said Rajeshwari C, President of the Forum.

NAGPUR: Exactly a month ago, when the All India Mother-in-law Protection Forum (AIMPF) started work, it had been greeted with expressions ranging from disbelief to a matter-of-fact nod of the head. However, here is some news for those who felt this was just a gimmick: since its inception on September 6, 30 mothers-in-law from the city have joined the forum!
The AIMPF, which is an initiative of the Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF), operates across the country and inaugurated its Nagpur unit recently. Interestingly, SIFF has often been described as an organisation of ‘women-haters’. That myth goes pop with the success of AIMPF.
