People see it as a crime of being being sons parent as soon they get trapped in false cases by their bahu’s by misusing of women centric laws.
In recent years, many parents of sons have started feeling that being a parent to a young male in India has become an unjust burden. With rising legal complications, such as false cases under IPC 498a, and societal pressures that paint them as automatic culprits, many parents feel trapped and neglected by the system they once supported.
Below are some common talk with parents whose sons have been implicated in false cases of dowry, rape, domestic violence and other women centric laws.
“Kya bete ke parents hona paap hai?”
This question resonates with many families who once stood in solidarity with causes for women’s rights but find themselves at the receiving end when it comes to their sons. Many of these parents supported movements and legal protections for women, but today, they feel left behind.
In the matriarchal system, parents of sons are unfairly burdened today.
“Pariwarik Sanstha aur samaj ka kya hoga?”
All these women centric laws are acting as an catalyst to demolish the Great Indian Family traditions, we are moving toward a matriarchal system where the voice and rights of sons and their families are often overshadowed. Today, fewer families want to live with their sons after marriage, fearing conflicts with their daughters-in-law and also for their sons well-being. In the next decade or so, this number will likely rise dramatically.
“Kya shaadi gunah ho gaya hai?”
Marriage, once a sacred institution, now feels like a risky gamble for many families. Laws like IPC 498a, BNS 84, Domestic Violence have become tools for exploitation in many cases. This has led many to question if marriage itself has become a crime for men and their families, with the looming threat of legal action hanging over every disagreement.
With laws like IPC 498a or Section 84 of BNS in place, marriage has become a fragile institution for men and their families. What was once considered a sacred bond now feels like a legal trap that can turn life upside down with false allegations.
“Kya kanoon hamare liye nahi?”
Many parents feel that the law isn’t on their side. Ironically, those who once supported laws for the protection of their daughters now find no legal recourse for their sons. Parents, who actively campaigned for women’s safety, now question why similar protections do not exist for their sons when false allegations can destroy their lives and reputations.
“Kya torture sirf ladke wale hi kar sakte hai?”
The stereotype that only the groom’s family can be abusive is deeply entrenched in society. However, many parents feel that if their family were truly oppressive, the bride would never have the courage to file complaints. In reality, mostly cases involve settlements and legal battles, where the son’s family is often the target by bride for financial or emotional gain.
