Every year 1000s of innocent Indian husbands are charged with false DOWRY cases. Their innocent parents, young sisters & mothers are arrested, jailed without warrant. Some have died. Some have committed suicide unable to bear injustice. The law that was made to protect vulnerable women is being misused by unscrupulous women with connivance of others

Basti, Oct 30: A young bride was given talaq by her husband for failing to meet dowry demands barely two hours after their nikah was solemnised in a village in this Uttar Pradesh district.

Soon after the marriage rituals ended in Ganeshpur village here last night, the groom's family demanded a colour television and a motorcycle and threatened to leave behind the bride if their demand was not met.

With the bride's family failing to provide the television and motorcycle, the groom divorced his newly-wed wife.

A dowry case has been registered against the groom, his father and two sisters who were later arrested. (Agencies)
