"One of the tragedies of independent India is that we have not yet learned to distinguish between reasonable and unreasonable laws, between implementable and unimplementable laws, just as we have failed to create a law- enforcement machinery capable of providing genuine recourse to all those whose rights have been violated."
"The law was recast, heavily weighted in the woman’s favour, on the assumption that only genuinely aggrieved women would come forward to lodge complaints and that they would invariably tell the truth. In the process, however, the whole concept of due process of law had been overturned in these legal provisions dealing with domestic violence"
* Sounds just like legal shortcomings plagueing the Western world.
"Several women’s organisations, with long years of experience in intervening in such cases, find to their dismay that their help was being sought in patently bogus cases"
* Fascinating observation, totally unlike women's organizations here.
Excellent article, I am always interested in the manner that the issues that are on our forefront are being addressed in other countries.
