TOI Author need to MIND

TO : mytimesmyvoice@timesgroup.com

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is with reference to the article in TOI Crest – Mind the Gap, 08 May 2010:

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Mind-the-gap-/articleshow/5906289.cms

This article is full of wrong and misleading information.

1) >> For instance, consider the absence of consent as a prerequisite for Hindu marriage. <<

Refer Hindu Marriage Act – Sec 12-1(c) : This section clearly states that a marriage is voidable if the consent is obtained wrongly.

2) >> Adding insult to injury, the provision relating to adultery makes it clear that only a husband can initiate criminal proceedings. There is no such corresponding right granted to the wife <<

Refer HMA Sec 13 -1(i) : There is a clear provision to get divorce if any of the spouse has voluntary intercourse outside wedlock

Refer IPC 497 : This is a totally biased law which FAVORS only WOMEN. If a woman is living in adultery only her Male partner can be prosecuted. The law shields the woman completely. Which means, if a woman is living in adultery a husband cannot initiate any action against her. On the contrary, if a husband indulges in adultery, his wife can not only ask for divorce but also initiate CRIMINAL proceedings against her husband!!!

What does the author say on this??

The NCW is one of the most corrupt organizations which is consistently working to create gender-biased laws which break families and create disharmony in society. IPC 498a, Domestic Violence etc are examples of such laws which are harassing innocents in the name of Gender Equality!!

From the article it is very clear that the author has NO UNDERSTANDING of the laws prevailing in India and wrote about HIGHLY IMAGINARY stuff.

You would do well to deny such authors any space on Times of India pages/site, as such articles create unnecessary panic in society by providing misleading information.

Regards,

Abhishek
