Indian law claims to be equal towards all, but as far women's laws are concerned, it seems to side the self-made prostitutes who entice away wealthy husbands, leaving the families of these husbands almost on the roads... See; http://groups.yahoo.com/group/destroyadultary
Also it gives lots of facilities to females to trap their innocent husbands by misuse of IPC 498A... See discussions in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/indianjustice
Also, when NCW and law ministry was requested to amend IPC 497 & 498 by changing the words husband and wife to spouse, may be some authorities got frightened of being alleged themselves or so... who knows... and applied that IPC 497 & 498 should not be criminal laws at all!
Do you think in this senario;
An Indian woman, a legal wife or daughter, will ever get justice?
Or Only self made prostitute will keep getting indirect shield of the laws that do not give chance to the wives to proscecute these self made prostitutes who entice away their husbands?

The day the Indian man gets off of his pedestal(provided by the Indian woman) , truly starts respecting the Indian woman as an equal, as stated in the holy books. Thats the great day that the Indian woman and children will have their long overdue laws, to protect their legal rights.

Case Law is an important 'source of law' recognised by jurisprudence all over the world, and respected by judiciary as equal to legislation, and a shade above customs and traditions (which also provide tenets of law on practical sphere!): hence, the value of precedents and existing court decisions, in processing cases in courts. Now, from that view point, India does have adequate safeguard for rights and dues of wives and daughters, and, in disputed cases, when cases are properly presented and argued well to provide guidance to honourable courts for correct adjudication in lines with procedural law as well, they are certainly decided with need for dispensation of justice fully appreciated and met! All legal rights are undoubtedly justiciable! Yes, there is a small percentage of flaw in the overall system, exploited in some cases by clever people, men and women, with the help of clever, unscrupulous lawyers: often NGO's come to the help of litigants with genuine problems on this score!
