Matrimonial laws need to be made equal for both men and women. When you have too much interference from the state only supporting one side, there is no justice, but largely threatening the husband to give into the wife and her family’s demands.
In an incident reported from Ludhiana, Punjab, a man was attacked by the family of his wife outside women’s cell in Rishi Nagar. The victim alleged that the accused not only thrashed him, but also attacked him with a knife. When he raised an alarm, police personnel came for his rescue and the accused escaped from the spot.
The police on Saturday lodged an FIR against the wife’s father and brother.
Case:
Shivam Malhotra, 31, (victim) who is a resident of Nimmwala Chowk got married to Mehak Maggo of Mohalla Bajaria, Chauri Sadak on February 23, 2019. The husband alleged that soon after their marriage, his wife started harassing him and his family. A marital dispute case in this regard was subsequently registered by the wife, which is pending at the Ludhiana’s women’s cell.
On Saturday, Shivam had gone to the women’s cell as the police had called him and his wife’s family. After meeting the officials, he came out of the building and was about to sit in his car when his father-in-law Sanjay Maggo and brother-in-law Vidhur Maggo intercepted his way and started thrashing him. The accused brandished a knife and attacked him. On hearing his cries, people and police rushed there, on seeing them, the accused fled from the spot.
Investigating officer from PAU police station assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Lakhwinder Singh said the police have registered a case against Sanjay and his son Vidhur under:
