Section 498-A was introduced in the year 1983 to protect women from cruelty and dowry harassment by husband or any member of his family. However, over the years and decades, even after joint families turned nuclear, the law has not been modified till date. Effectively, this draconian law has become a tool in the hands of disgruntled women, who want to settle score with their husbands and in-laws.

The Supreme Court of India and several other High Courts have termed this law as ‘Legal Terrorism’ or a law misused as a weapon than shield for disgruntled wives.

While common men struggle running for anticipatory bail, some politicians too have faced similar situations, which they alleged to be manipulated.

In the year 2004, just before the onset of Lok Sabha Elections that year, Congress Veteran Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s son Deepender Hooda was charged 498A and 406. Not just Deepender, but Leader of Opposition representing Haryana Congress Bhupinder Hooda, his wife Asha, Deepender’s sister Saroj were all booked under the same sections, for allegedly demanding dowry from Deepender’s (former) wife Geeta Grewal.

As per a report by The Telegraph published in January 2004, an officer at Panchkula police station informed media,

We have received a complaint and lodged an FIR against Hooda, his wife Asha, (Geeta’s) sister-in-law Saroj and (Geeta’s) husband Deepinder under various sections, including 498A and 406. We will take action soon.

Allegations By Hooda’s Daughter-in-Law

In her complaint, 24-year-old Geeta had alleged that her in-laws had been demanding money from her family despite the latter having spent Rs 25 lakh on her marriage. The FIR stated that Rs 10 lakh was spent on the tilak ceremony and a Rs 5 lakh fixed deposit receipt was given to Deepender, who then worked in the US.

She alleged that the Hoodas were demanding Rs 60 lakh and a Mercedes from her father.

While speaking with the media, Geeta then said,

I have said whatever I wanted to in the FIR and have nothing more to say.

Statement From Hoodas

There was no official response from the Hooda family at that point in time.

However, a Hooda aide rubbished Geeta’s allegations and questioned the haste with which the Panchkula Sector 19 police station had registered the case. He said,

The demand of Rs 60 lakh came not from us but from the family of Geeta to settle the divorce proceedings currently being heard in a Rohtak court. The family had threatened to spoil Hooda’s political career in case the demand was not met.

The Hoodas had filed an FIR of their own over this demand.

VFMI Take:

  • While Supreme Court has issued guidelines in Arnesh Kumar Judgement (2014) instructing police to issue Section 41-A CrPC Notice to husband and in-laws before any random arrest, the same is not being followed on ground in practice
  • When the power of arrest lies with the police, men and their families are manipulated from several ends to give in and pay up huge alimony to their estranged wives
  • Several men or their families members die by suicide every year, due to threats of these false criminal cases by wives, their families
  • Dowry deaths are criminal, but Alimony deaths are mere statistics in India, and rarely any woman or her family member is arrested if a man dies due to such demand
  • Section 498-A criminalises a matrimonial dispute and several old parents (of husbands) who have barely visited their son’s home 3-4 times during his marriage, are also booked on charges of cruelty and harassment — on mere word of wife
  • Sisters of husbands, even if married, and their husbands – who may be living in different city/country – are not spared either
  • In our humble opinion, there should be no involvement of police in any matrimonial matters, unless there is absolute evidence of physical violence
