It is been considered that, marriage is a crime in India since from few years. Because many people are getting arrested for being named in a complaint against them by any woman or her relatives whose marriage has happened within 7 years, under sec. 498a of IPC. If a person deny to become an ATM for his wife, if she wants to desert him from his family, if he oppose her illegal relations, just to make unjustifiable grabbing of a person’s property legally, to take revenges, any foolish woman may use this section and D.P. Act as a weapon and destroy the whole family of a man and compel him to pay some 100 or 200 Rs. to get a woman to his bed instead of marriage.

Thousands of people like these are committing suicides every year or else compelled to become a criminal by in justifying law machinery unnecessarily arresting more than 60% of whole arrests without proper reason, circumstantial evidences, proofs and need to arrest by which they may lose their jobs and their future everything and have to face uncertainty.

Here are few statistics of NCRB for your reference:

1. 1,23,000 women have been arrested within last four years (2004 - 2007) without proper investigation, proofs and need to arrest, just only on the basis of a complaint from a woman or her vested interest relatives by using sec. 498a and D.P. Act without any justification for those arrests. They arrested many pregnant, just delivered women, old age people, children who are just related to a husband. It is very much necessary to mention that even British never arrested more than 17,000 women in India in any year under all sec. of IPC. whereas our Government has achieved above figures by using just one sec. 498a of IPC shows the seriousness of the matter clearly.
2. In the year 2007, 57,000 married men committed suicides out of which 16,000 people and around 1,56,000 people in last 11 years have committed suicides just only for family harassments against 83,787 women for the same period. They have been compelled to do so by denying a way out from domestic violence against him and in the threat of defamation from this domestic system.
3. It is very much required to think and debate on the issue that, 26% of men commit suicides for family reasons and it stands No. 1 reason for suicides.

A report of central social studies, a Government Institute says that, only 2% of dowry harassment prevention cases are getting conviction. Which means 98% innocent people are been arrested unnecessarily without proper justification for arresting. It has to be mentioned that, if it is not a special case under 113a of evidence act that, “Accused has to prove his innocence rather prosecution has to prove the case, in all other including a brutal red handed murder” even 2% innocent would have been acquitted. The system is enforcing some laws of prejudices with some presumptions and assumptions that every married man is maniac of harassing wives and they need to be treated like a culprit until they prove their innocence. This study and our Hon’ble President of this nation have proved and accepted the above issues.

They have divided undivided families in the name of individual’s (personal) independence and perpetrated Human Rights. Hence they are interested in dividing families for their profits and vested interests. To achieve their goal they are promoting many dividing laws on voiceless and mindless Indian society.

Our aim is not to protect the criminals but to save those innocent people killing themselves everyday in fear of defamation and non-availability of justice from this wicked and dramatic judicial system. To teach a good lesson to those who are grabbing innocent people’s property and money for their enjoyment, to stop those demons from spoiling nation by registering false complaints, misusing and putting burden on judicial system of this poor country. To give real Independence and peace to every citizen of this country even though we are not being considered for those things here in this country.

Meanwhile he lost his orphaned children at 11 month and 3 ½ years, home, his business, money, dignity, relatives and became a real walking dead-body, he learnt the seriousness of such false allegations and decided to fight to bring judicial reforms not for his case, but for all those innocent accused and families.
