False implication u/s 498a ipc
Bench of Chief Justice H. L.attu and A.K.Sikri said, in on a decision "For no fault, the in-laws, especially old parents of the husband, are taken to jail the moment a false complaint is filed against them by a woman under Section 498A indian penal code. By roping in in-laws without a reason and for settling a score with the husband, the false and exaggerated 498A ipc complaints are causing havoc to marriages".
The Apex Court said that false complaints under Section 498A of Indian Penal Code (ipc) against innocent in-laws alleging cruelty and
harassment at matrimonial homes were increasingly making the husbands adamant
not to take back their wives at home.
These comments are very very significant as this section 498a of Indian Penal Code is ruining too many marriages now a days where apart from filing a case a woman has nothing to prove. On the contrary a husband and his relative has to prove the thing that they have not done how ironic. Now it is responsibility of the citizen of this country to use these gender bias laws very seriously not arbitrarily.

Misuse of section 498a of ipc is inevitable if this kind of
bias exists.
