Groom Burning in India

(Check out the List of Incidences at the End of the Article)

Unilateral gender specific laws such as section 498A[1] and domestic violence act 2005 (DV Act)[2] among others were added to the Indian constitution in the years 1983 and 2005, respectively, to curb the menace of cruelty to married women by their husband and his relatives. Although Article 14 of the Indian constitution clearly mentions equality for all before the law and avoids any discrimination on the grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth,[3] the above stated unilateral gender biased laws were formed in complete violation of this article just to provide justice to a specific gender while completely neglecting the human/ fundamental rights of other gender from the misuse of these biased laws. Since then with the modernization of Indian society and the invasion of western ideologies of feminism, women empowerment amid gender equality and worldwide promotion of disrespect for men, these gender biased laws among others have turned out as a deadly weapon in the hands of Indian women who often misuse them on a large scale to blackmail, harass, and toucher their husband and his family members.[4]

In fact, if the laws were constituted as per the basic essence of the Indian constitution particularly in a gender neutral fashion, along with an act to strictly punish the false accuser against the misuse of such laws, the legal terrorism that the Indian men and their family members suffer today would have been avoided to a large extent.[5-9] Consequently, since past decade there is an overwhelming increase in the number of Indian grooms suicide accounting for nearly double the number of male suicides than females. It is estimated that one Indian man commit suicide in every 4 minute.[10] These men come from nearly all status of Indian society which includes IT professionals, soldiers, doctors, lawyers, IPS officers etc. (suicides by Indian man will be covered in details in a separate post).[11]

Gradually the situation is getting worse, as there is no law and no system to listen to the sufferings of these Indian men in their own country. Several Indian men have now started posting live videos of their suicide on social media platforms accusing their wife and her family members of legal terrorism. Besides many Indian men are also being burned alive in the country by their wives and their family members. In most cases these incidents of crime on men by women and their family members are not covered by English newspapers or TV media while they only find place in local Indian language newspapers most probably due to the biased media houses amid political pressure for wild propagation of women empowerment agenda in the country. This is the main reason why such heinous crimes by Indian women do not catch the eye of internet browsers sitting elsewhere in the world. In recent years, undoubtedly, incidences of heinous crime by Indian women have increased manifold. The main reason behind this is the formation of all laws in the favor of one gender while completely neglecting the other. In addition, besides women centric gender biased laws in the country, the judicial system is too liberal for women in India. This article is an initiative to put forward the list of some of the recent incidences of groom burning by wives and their family members that took place in different parts of India.

As most of the heinous crimes by women are not reported in English newspapers therefore this blog will also cover the news from other Indian language newspapers with proper references. Readers of this post are most welcome to put forward other such incidences of groom burning which are not covered in the list given below. It is high time that all Laws in India be made Gender Neutral along with Strict Punishment for False Accusers. As a human right, Men too deserve to be protected against the violence of women and their family members.
