It is very rare for men to go into a long term relationship with women as second husband where as we find many women in relationship as second wives. This means that there will be support from women for adultery since they do not mind being a second , third wife of successfull husband where as men defnitely mind being so. Either social conditioning or genetic programming we do not know so powerfull men which includes MPs MLAS find it attractive. Unpowerfull men like middle class men do not . It means that a few men have multiple relationships while lessor number of women have multiple relationship. It is not surprising since I have seen many 498a men having wifes who have adulterous relationship with powerfull politicians. This explains the opposition to allowing evidence to play a role in cognising or charging 0f 498a and favour of powerfull men and most women towards adultery 98773@desicritics.org Mon, 19 Feb 2007 09:02:47 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/02/15/102045.php#comment-98756 amrita you are a women so adultery is not a crime for you .

It is similar to the statement about restitution of conjugal rights where a person could go to court so that their spouse is forced to start living with them. 93975@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Feb 2007 06:18:30 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/02/15/102045.php#comment-93897 Behaviour of NCW is not at all surprising. It is interesting to note that, no one from Media or so called progressivists are pointing at such illogical and irrational behaviour of NCW. May be they all assume it is perfectly OK to follow all kinds of unbalanced and illogical behaviour when the cause is noble and politically correct. NCW got the Domestic Violence Law drafted by an organisation called Lawyer's collective (which claims itself to be a Human Rights Organisation, but in reality it is a radical feminist/communist organisation). Within 2 months of implementation of DV Act, Supreme Court called the DV act "Poorly Drafted" and warned that this kind of Drafting will lead to "Social Chaos". Now, Lawyer's Collective is busy drafting the "Workplace Harassment" Law. There are many criminal laws which are not gender neutral (in theory or in practice). 1) Abettment to suicide law. 2) Dowry/Sowry Law. (DP Act) 3) Cruelty Law (498a). 4) Adultery Law. 5) Domestic Violence Law. 6) Child Custody Laws. 7) Maintenance Laws. The whole idea is to fleece men and if possible boys with continous bombardment of sob stories in media and other communications channels like TV, Advertisements. Even in KBC, SRK has got politically correct overtones. In one occassion he says, Indian men should always put their wives/girlfriends above their mothers/sisters. Has he got any data or statistic to prove that Indian men do not treat all of them equally? or has he simply gone with propaganda or instructions by producers? Goebbels will come to a poor second compared to what radical feminists are doing in India and world. Recent reports say, children in US and UK are much worse off compared to children in many other countries. The governments are encouraging couples to sort out their differences for the sake of children as children from fatherless families have 60% greater chance to commit suicide and 4 times more chance to have emotional/behavioural problems. Now, NCW wants money for DV Shelters all over India. Its sure many of these (if they come) will become brothels. Even though Govt takes 33% tax, there is no social security system in this country and not institutional care for abandoned elderly people. The judges in the meanwhile do not want anyone to hold them to account. It seems their "self respect" will get hurt if someone asks them about their assets. It is perfectly OK if self respect of an elderly woman is hurt while getting jailed in a false case. We have got a new set of castes now who only have got self respect and whose words are the words of God "Adulterous women are victims" (as claimed by NCW). Every victim must get compensation. So, what compensation does NCW plan to seek for women who commit adultery? This country has gone to dogs as the intellectuals only indulge in Analysis (which leads to paralysis) and do not go to vote. Then they read ToiLet papers and watch biased media. 93897@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Feb 2007 05:32:02 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/02/15/102045.php#comment-93494 The intention(bias) behind making highly Adultery gender biased is the same as one which operates when making laws like 498A and DV act gender biased. Feminist doctrine is "A woman = A victim" and vice versa. Justice for men...wow!!! what does that mean??? Abuse of men...Ha ha ha...Too many jokes too less time? As for arguments for making adultery a civil offense (rather than criminal one) why not instead make divorce a less painful and easier option then. If somebody is so unsatisfied with marriage why not he/she opt for divorce. Let us make divorce easier. But remember for making divorce easier, you will have to modify laws and bias(in favor of women) with regard to alimony, maintenance and other women laws which in principle (at least) treat all men as bonded acquiescent labourers, ATMs and criminals by default. 93494@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Feb 2007 02:40:49 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/02/15/102045.php#comment-93408 Who will ask Giriiiii--ja Vyaas - 'What the Fuck?'

Victim of what? Are we not capable to understand the significance of the word 'consent'? Besides, it is common these days where an outside man is responsible to give the 'consent' to a married woman's sexual proposal. Women's sexual nature is not even acknowledged by the law and men are considered sexual beasts. No problems! Men will suffer from this law but women too are not going to enjoy themselves because women have already lost all that credibility and respect that they enjoyed for many centuries. 93147@desicritics.org Thu, 15 Feb 2007 22:48:28 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/02/15/102045.php#comment-92114 Adultery is a crime?
