IMMIGRATION

The English Rights Campaign has received an email from someone with a different perspective on the immigration problem. This time the problem identified is from an Indian male point of view.

The email has been sent in response to the English Rights Campaign entry dated the 9 October 2005, dealing with immigration and arranged marriages.

The issue the writer has raised is that of dowries. Those who are demanding or receiving dowries from their future wives in India are merely obtaining money in return for British passports. It is in the national interest that this should cease.

Once again, it is clear that arranged marriages to spouses from the Indian subcontinent should be stopped. There are plenty of Asians in this country with whom other Asians can marry.

But also it seems this is in the interests of male Asians too.

The email is reproduced below in its entirety:

Hi

My name is Vinayak

I just viewed your post on immigration at
http://erc21.blogspot.com/2005/10/immigration.html

I'm surprised that so many Indians in the UK are marrying Indian women FROM the Sub - continent.

Probably many of them are unaware of a looming problem ... the often being used by Indian women.

I request you to post the following comment to the above URL / your blog.


That was a good blog post !

I feel your readers should know the other side of Indian Marriages, especially the misuse of laws by Indian wives these days.

Do you know that 1000s of innocent Indian men are being victimized by the misuse of anti dowry law - a particular Section 498A of Indian Penal code?

Many newly wed wives unable to adjust with their husbands, some who are unable to live in a new environment and even greedy Indian wives are known to file FALSE dowry cases against their husbands and In - Laws. They falsely accuse their husbands' of treating them with cruelty AND demanding dowry during marriage.

Since dowry is legally prohibited and severely punishable in India, many of these newly married men stand the gruesome prospect of being arrested and thrown into and Indian prison ... for years !!

The intention of these Indian wives of course is to settle scores or extract money from their in laws.

Once a dowry case is filed the Indian police are forced to arrest the husband and in some cases, even their un suspecting parents & sisters are arrested and jailed. Unable to bear the insult some have committed suicide.

As most of the male victims would be innocent and would not have EVEN stepped into a police station, let alone be arrested, they are forced to NEGOTIATE AND PAY these women.

Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code is badly lacking the "..due process of law .." i.e. Under any normal legal process, an accused is considered innocent unless proven guilty. However under Sec. 498A - I.P.C., the accused is immediately assumed to be guilty and has to loose liberty immediately....

There are 1000s of victims all over India.

It is reported that ".......In Andhra Pradesh (one of the Indian States), for example, a third of all the pending cases related to “atrocities on women” as on June 30 2005 are those under sections 498 and 498(A). In the first six months this year, 3801 new cases under just these two sections were instituted..........."

This is a smear on the image of India.

If any reader here is about to get married or if you are facing a difficult relationship with your wife, please be aware. Take necessary precautions !!

Best regards


Vinayak
