ABSTRACT
The main end of writing this composition is to open the eyes of the amateurs that men are also an important part of the society and there must be some kinds of specific laws for the protection of men against the fake blameworthiness in the name of feminist. A cultivated can only prosper if the society can give fair and natural justice to every existent. Still, but this isn’t the case when it comes to men, if we put a light on the women’s right there’s a long list of rights which are mentioned specifically for women. Article 14, of the Indian Constitution deals with “Right to Equality” it states equivalency before law and equal protection of law but occasionally it seems that bold nature of Article 14, live only in black and white that’s in book and not in factual practice.
It cannot be denied that women had been kept under the subjugation of men from a long time women had been treated inversely but with the due course of time, various laws were made for the protection of women’s rights and certain specific laws were also framed for women’s but a country can only prosper when there isn’t only a program for youthful girls like “ Beti Bachhoo Beti Padhao” but there must be commodity for the boys too. In our country women has been honored as a carnation of goddess Laxmi, because after marriage she bind the two houses her own as well as her husband’s. But in the meantime she isn’t the only bone who binds the two families but men’s part have always been neglected by the society, and it made the incidents of false blameworthiness of colorful crimes on men, because in moment’s time its veritably easy to file a false case against men in the name of feminism. Thus, there’s a saying that, “All women are innocent until she proven shamefaced” and “ All men are shamefaced until they proven innocent”.
CASE
Cases file against the husband
In Satya vs Siri Ram, in this case the woman terminated her gestation doubly without the concurrence of her nubby. This means that a lady who opposes her hubby’s normal and reasonable desire for children, performing in his being depressed and affecting his internal health, is shamefaced of atrocity by the court.
In Kalpana vs Surendra Nath, both the parties were married and lived together for one and a half months”. By refusing to serve tea to the plaintiff and his companion the complainant was indicted of demeaning him in front of them”. The complainant requested that the replier join in her council and one day she left to council and noway returned. Under the Dowry banned legislation, she had also filed a action against her hubby. The court agreed with the replier and ruled that refusing to help with domestic chores was harsh.
In Narendra Vs. K. Meena, the hubby was pushed by his woman to live piecemeal from the rest of the family, yet he was the only member of the family who was wearing and who was responsible for its up keep. In discrepancy, the woman’s primary thing was to spend the whole payment of her hubby. Another, false blameworthiness she made was that her hubby was having an affair with their maid. She also tried to take her own life by dousing herself in kerosene oil painting and setting herself on fire.
In Prem Chandra Pandey vs Smt Savitri Pandey, ahead and after the marriage, according to the woman’s allegations the hubby’s cousins sought dowry from the couple, the demands of the woman’s father were to met and so they tortured her, and she made up a bogus claim that he was married to another lady and married again to satisfy his requirements. There was no verify to any of this, therefore, the court ruled that making false blameworthiness of infidelity constitutes cruel geste.
Taking in consideration of the law fixed in Panjab Mahajanv v. Dimple Kajal and Vijaykumar Ramchandra Bhatev, Neela Vijaykumar Bhate, in two judge panel, Justice Anil R. Dave and Justice Nageshwara Rao, decided on 6th October, 2016 the apex court ruled that the woman constant pressure on the hubby to separate him from his family is cruel because in Indian society and ethics, the son maintaining his parents is veritably normal and in the Hindu society, it’s pious obligation of the son to maintain the parents.
CHALLENGES FOR MEN’S RIGHTS
Gender discrimination is one of the major challenges for men’s right in India.
False blameworthiness against men is so common in moment’s time which force men to commit self-murder.
Society frequently neglects men and noway provides too important support as what’s being handed to women.
In our country, there live women’s rights commission, women’s special cell, but there isn’t a single commission for men’s rights. Still a solicitation was filed on 5th July, 2023 for the demand to constitute men’s rights commission but the apex court rejected the solicitation on the ground that the supplicant just prepared a bone sided picture.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion, it can be said that just women have their separate rights from the protection and abuse of men similarly indeed men need some specific laws from the protection of false charges fasle rape case, cheating cases etc, in our society men’s part has frequently been neglected which redounded in lack of laws for men which eventually weaken us in order to fight our legal battle. So an attention is demanded for men too. We frequently talk about women but now we came to talk for men too.
