MDO Take:

We have always maintained that laws are essential in matrimonial disputes, however, criminalising of matrimonial laws have only made things worse for the husband
Already our laws are heavily rested in favour of women and when there is involvement of police in personal matters, the man and his family virtually have no say
FIRs and complaints are registered against men on mere word of wives, leaving husbands and their families to run around for securing bail
Government of India must re-look at all these age old laws, and design equal parameters for both parties to secure divorce and justice fairly
