Over the years I have seen a large number of women including those from upper-middle class educated families being abused by their husbands. Though a handful of women are misusing dowry-related laws on the advise of unscruplous lawyers it is certainly not the norm. Please do not mix-up the fate of children in troubled relationships with this fact. I don’t quite agree with this response to my post.

While almost all news agency is talking about DV act being good and encouraging India to have achieved this milestone, they are completely igroring the ground facts or may be they are not awared of it. An ordinary look into Indian family will clearly reveal that mothers, sisters, daughters aren't abused nor do they need protection. In some worse case wives used to be abused but that too years ago and today there are more cases of IPC 498A abuse that use of it. Often these bad wives use children as their weapon to harrass their husbands and inlaws and in that process children lose the vital part of their life and education. This additional law will only increase the mess and would do no good to children, elders and other women in an Indian family. Media shouldn't be blind to this fact and contribute in raising such issues rather than going with the flow and writing symmetrical reports to gain publicity.
