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 21^st 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.

What they need to do?

1. Why do the NCW and WCD Ministry not bother to direct their attention to help these distressed widows instead of standing up for the cause of “PUB” going young women and giving un-meaningful support to the air-hostess being molested?
2. Do these distressed widows not come into the ambit of NCW? Where do they spend the huge funds allocated to them?
3. Do these widows not deserve a share of those funds for some relief?

Another reality:

Recently the DD News channel had telecast a program on a girl’s school in Hyderabad running in a cinema hall which was closed .There were not even basic necessities or even proper sanitation.

Are they not supposed to adhere to the needs of these girls when they talk of “WOMEN EMPOWERMENT” and “GIRL CHILD EDUCATION”?

Woman vs. Woman:

1. The NCW supports only the “DAUGHTER- IN LAW” centric laws, but what about the MOTHER-IN-LAW and SISTER -IN-LAW (mothers and sisters of Husbands)?
2. Do these women not come in the category of “NCW’s ambit of “WOMANHOOD”?
3. Why are these innocent women harassed by the’ EMPOWERED’ DAUGHTER-IN-LAW by tactfully misusing the laws like Section 498A (DOWRY HARRASSEMENT) and (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE)?
4. The NCW has propagated (WOMAN ENDANGERMENT) by empowering the greedy and malicious young women. Is it not a (FEMALE TO FEMALE VIOLENCE)?

BAN NCW and WCD:

The” DAUGHTER-IN-LAW” has now become the “DAUGHTER-OF-LAW”. We earnestly request the Indian government to abolish the NCW and WCD Ministry as it has done more harm to the Indian society by breaking the institution of Marriage completely. Laws are meant for “PROTECTION” and not for “HARRASSMENT” and “EXTORTION”. STOP “LEGAL TERRORISM” in the guise of protection and empowerment.

The Supreme Court of India has also acknowledged this fact.

Why is “MAINTENANCE” and “ALIMONY” granted by the courts to such CRIMINAL WIVES who marry only with intention of making a huge fortune and gain personal scores or to revenge the in-laws with the help of the MISUSE -OF LAWS?

Demands:

1. I think it is a very good earning opportunity for young women as in no job or business can anybody extorts lakhs of rupees within 2, 3, or 5 months of entering the matrimonial home. I demand that mothers -in law should be given half the share of booty earned by the daughter -in -law. The old lady really deserves as she has maintained and survived the family for more than 3 to 4 decades by sacrificing her personal desires and ambitions, but within a few months of the daughter -in law entering the home the whole family life crumbles down.
2. The old lady has no means of earning but young and educated woman is capable of earning but deliberately avoids doing work or deliberately hiding her earnings to extort money as she has the “BIASED” laws supporting her. But the whole government system is against supporting the old and weak woman.
3. Lavish Marriages should be banned.
4. Every Marriage should be registered under the” DOWRY PROHIBITION ACT” to stop this “DRACONIAN” law from being “MISUSED”.
5. The Judiciary should come out of its deep slumber and understand the changing trends of the present society.
6. Their mindset needs to change and developed to be sensitive to the issues of old woman.
7. There should be no “INTERIM MAINTENANCE” as the cases are dragged indefinitely by Daughter- in law to extort money.

The reality that happens in matrimonial disputes:

1. When a Daughter-in-law goes to a Police- Station even with a false complaint it is taken to be true and a FIR is immediately registered. She and her relatives should be taken into custody for admitting that they have given DOWRY because as per law “GIVING,TAKING AND ABBETING THE EXCHANGE OF DOWRY” is a crime then why only the alleged taker is punished without investigation of the truth just on a verbal complaint.
2. 98% of these cases are proven to be false and the real culprits go scot free. It is the giver who is spreading this menace in the society.
3. Gifts given “OUT OF LOVE” at the time of Marriage are converted into “DOWRY” as an afterthought and with the help of false complaints and crocodile tears a false complaint is registered against the in-laws.
4. The police are hand -in -gloves with the complainant.

Who takes the responsibility?

1. Why does the Judiciary allow hefty amounts of “MAINTENANCE” and “ALIMONY”?
2. Why can’t the courts order the Daughter-in law to take responsibilities and not demand Rights only?
3. Is the Police or Judiciary in any way capable of returning the honor and respect to the “CRIMINALLY TAGGED” women by the Daughter-in -law which is deserved by the innocent Mother-in-law?
4. Who is going to compensate for the mental trauma physical abuse and the social stigma faced by these old women?

The conclusion:

It is high time that the Judiciary realizes the truth and gives justice to the innocent women and punishes the real criminals. These matters should be dealt with without any delay. “JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED“. The judiciary has a responsibility and accountability towards society which should not be forgotten. The Government system as a whole should work together to fight “LEGAL-TERORISM” going in every Indian home just as they are fighting Terrorism on the borders of the country.
