Abstract :
India is a male dominating society irrespective of religious norms. Therefore Indian women were
subjected ill-treatments, and tortures by the male. Therefore it was felt to educate women, and
make them independent. Introduction of various laws, enactments, amendments were provided
and women were encouraged to use laws as a weapon for protection, education and self-
development of women. Unfortunately this weapon is being used like a dragon against men.
Now the helpless husband or a colleague is crushed under the false complaints to satisfy an ego
of a woman according to which ‘she is victim of the conspiracy’. Within a few months of
marriage women’s start creating issues, and demanding huge compensations for divorce. Men do
not report abuses against them by their wives or of any female relatives as they will be ashamed
of, thus they suffer silently the miserable situation though they are victims of violence. Through
this article the author is trying to focus on the misuse of gender-specific statutory provisions in
India. The findings are disturbing if one study the cases decided by the Hon’ble Supreme Court
and High Courts of various States. Thus one has to recommend scrapping off the laws making
men miserable. We have to do away with the draconian laws. Are we going to stop this dragon
or let it kill millions of the innocent men?
