#DowryHarassment #WomensDay #Factly Dowry harassment is a contentious issue in India. Many women suffer, while some are accused of filing false cases. But what does the law say? And how should we, the common people, deal with it in our lives? This is what we address in the inaugural episode. Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:41 Definition of dowry 02:46 Section 498A of the IPC 03:00 Concerns on Misuse of 498A 04:12 Whom to Approach 04:57 Conclusion For detailed reading, please go through the following: Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961: https://wcd.nic.in/act/dowry-prohibition-act-1961 Indian Penal Code,1860:https://legislative.gov.in/actsofparliamentfromtheyear/indian-penal-code The Code Of Criminal Procedure,1973: https://legislative.gov.in/sites/default/files/A1974-02.pdf The Indian Evidence Act,1872: https://legislative.gov.in/actsofparliamentfromtheyear/indian-evidence-act-1872 List of NGOs working for the cause: https://www.sewa.org/ https://www.snehalaya.org/ https://northeastnetwork.org/ http://azadfoundation.com/ From domestic violence in the home to being harassed on the street or in the workplace, women face several struggles every day. Recognising this, Indian law has designed policies and structures meant to protect women from targeted gendered abuse. We examine one such issue and the law around it in each episode of the Women's Series of Decode by Factly.
