The Supreme Court of India has cautioned against the misuse of IPC Section 498(A), highlighting instances of wrongful legal actions in marital disputes. This judgment aims to balance protection for victims while preventing misuse of the law.

SC Warns Against Misuse of IPC 498(A)

The Supreme Court has issued a stern warning against the misuse of Section 498(A) in marital dispute cases, emphasizing that the provision should not be used as a "tool for personal vendetta."

The Supreme Court has issued a stern warning against the misuse of Section 498(A) in marital dispute cases, emphasizing that the provision should not be used as a "tool for personal vendetta." The court's comments came after it dismissed a cruelty case filed against a man and his family under this section, which the Telangana High Court had previously refused to dismiss.
Section 498(A), designed to protect married women from cruelty by their husbands or in-laws, carries severe penalties, including imprisonment for a minimum of three years and a fine. The case was filed by the wife after her husband petitioned for divorce. However, the Supreme Court highlighted that simply naming family members in a case, without solid evidence of their involvement, cannot serve as grounds for prosecution.
The court pointed out that Section 498(A) was intended to protect women from cruelty and ensure timely state intervention. However, it noted the increasing trend of using the law for personal vendettas, especially in light of rising marital disputes across the country. The Supreme Court warned that vague or generalized accusations could undermine the legal system and encourage manipulation by the wife or her family.
Further, the Court criticized the Telangana High Court for failing to reject the case, which it believed was filed with ulterior motives, aiming to settle personal grievances rather than address genuine issues of cruelty. The Supreme Court reiterated the importance of clear evidence before prosecuting individuals under Section 498(A).

Protest in Iraq after father kills YouTuber daughter

The father, who was reportedly angry because she was living in Turkey, later surrendered to the police and confessed the crime.

Iraqi activists protested to demand a law against domestic violence, days after a YouTuber was strangled by her father in a killing that has outraged the conservative country.
Tiba al-Ali, 22, was killed by her father on January 31 in the southern province of Diwaniyah, interior ministry spokesman Saad Maan said on Twitter on Friday.
Maan said there had been an attempt to mediate between the young woman and her relatives to resolve a "family dispute". The father later surrendered to the police and confessed to murdering his daughter.
On Sunday, security forces prevented some 20 activists from demonstrating outside the country's Supreme Judicial Council, and they gathered instead at a road leading to the building, an AFP journalist said.
Some held placards saying "Stop killing women" and "Tiba's killer must be held to account".
"We demand laws to protect women, especially laws against domestic violence," 22-year-old protester Rose Hamid told AFP.

"We came here to protest against Tiba's murder and against all others. Who will be the next victim?"
Another demonstrator, Lina Ali, said: "We will keep mobilising because of rising domestic violence and killings of women."
On the sidelines of Sunday's demonstration, human rights activist Hanaa Edwar was received by a magistrate from the Supreme Judicial Council to whom she presented the protesters' grievances.
Tiba al-Ali had lived in Turkey since 2017 and was visiting Iraq when she was killed, a security official in Diwaniyah told AFP.
In Turkey she had gained a following on YouTube, posting videos of her daily life in which her fiance often appeared.
Recordings have been shared on social media by a friend of Ali, and picked up by activists, reportedly of conversations with the father, angry because she was living in Turkey.
In the recordings, she also accuses her brother of sexual harassment.

Married woman asked to do household work for family not cruelty, says HC

Married woman asked to do household chores not cruelty, says Bombay HC, quashes domestic violence FIR

The woman, in her complaint, had alleged she was was treated properly for a month after marriage, but subsequently, was treated like a maid-servant.

If a married woman is asked to do household work for the family, the same cannot be equated to the work of a maid servant and would not amount to cruelty, the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court said while quashing a case lodged by a woman against her estranged husband and his parents for domestic violence and cruelty.
A division bench of Justices Vibha Kankanwadi and Rajesh Patil, on October 21, quashed the First Information Report lodged against the man and his parents.
The woman, in her complaint, had alleged she was was treated properly for a month after marriage, but thereafter, they began treating her like a maid servant.
She also claimed her husband and his parents, a month after the marriage, started demanding Rs 4 lakh to buy a four-wheeler. In her complaint, the woman said she was then subjected to mental and physical harassment by her husband over this demand.
The HC, in its order, noted the woman had merely stated she was harassed but had not specified any such act in her complaint.
"If a married lady is asked to do household work definitely for the purpose of the family, it cannot be said it is like a maid servant. If she had no wish to do her household activities, then she ought to have told it either prior to the marriage so that the bridegroom can rethink about the marriage itself or if it is after marriage, then such problem ought to have been sorted out earlier," the court said.
It further said mere use of the words harassment 'mentally and physically' is not sufficient to attract Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code unless such acts are described.
"Unless those acts are described, it cannot be concluded whether those acts amounted to harassment or subjecting a person to cruelty," the HC order stated.
The omnibus allegations the wife made against the husband would not attract the offence under the provision, the court said, and allowed the petition filed by the husband and his parents seeking to quash the case.
