Gender bias in India results in 56000 married men a year committing suicide!

"56000 Married men commit suicide in India every year due to torture from wives and in-laws . BUT THERE IS NOT A SINGLE LAW TO PROTECT MEN .

Here are some other articles from Indian Newspapers to open your eyes . Remember the pain of a sister or mother is no less when she loses her son commits suicide driven by his cruel wife. The law must protect and punish irrespective of gender bias."

The fact that many women are using the Domestic Violence Act against their in-laws is increasing day by day. Also the lack of any act that protects the right of men acts as an impediment. The judiciary needs to work on this so that men don't have to face the brunt of this law.
