Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society. In face of draconian family laws, if Men and Women are allowed to remain separate and unused under section 498A Indian Penal Code, it can be regarded as a crime against humanity! If the Government desires respect for the law, they must first make the 498A law fool-proof, immune from misuse and make it respectable and humane, more particularly for elderly and sick parents and children. Community, Religious and Elders counselling with simpler divorce laws will greatly help keep healthy society and traditional joint family system. Why UN-willing humans should be compelled to live together? Is it not the violation of Human Rights? Two unwilling Animals even cannot sit together without violence!!! Let not one criminal who misuses the law be the judge and jury and many innocents including women, children, sick and old become victims and sufferers without committing the offence under this Draconian law. Preventing the abuse and misuse of law, is just as much the work of Government, as it is their work to uphold the constitution and laws of the land. |
