Section 498 A of Indian Panel Code [IPC]
Section 498 says
that the husband or relative of the husband of the woman who subjects the woman
to cruelty shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to
three years and also liable to fine. The
aggrieved woman herself or any person related to her by blood, marriage or
adoption file a complaint under this section. An Indian wife or her relatives
can file a case under 498-A. Feminists are of the opinion that Section 498A of
the Indian Penal Code as a law against domestic violence has indeed served
women well and proved extremely useful as a deterrent. They argue that without
it women may not be in a position to see their complaint through to its logical
end. Read more at....
