When you create a power imbalance between two groups it will be abused. Ridiculous to think otherwise. Women love this. Governments make decisions on false information produced by women's orgs.

A Calcutta High Court judge has lashed out at women who commit what he described as “legal terrorism” by using the provisions of the IPC (Indian Penal Code) Section 498A against their husbands and families.

Section 498A was introduced in the 1980s to protect women from ill-treatment and dowry demands by their husbands and the families of their husbands.

However, inevitably, there have been numerous instances where wives have attempted to settle scores with their husbands by using Section 498A and levelling charges of 'mental and physical cruelty'.

As a result, the Supreme Court had previously laid down that the police should not automatically make arrests in a Section 498A case but should first attempt to verify the allegations.
