Marital Rape -  The hidden truth behind Feminist lies

Non-consensual sex in marriage, now bottled by female chauvanists as ‘marital rape’ can be committed by both husbands as well as by wives. If this has to become law, then it follows that such a law has to be gender neutral.

Some female chauvanists questions the government of India, thus “Is it not a violation of  a woman’s fundamental right, when her husband can be exonerated of raping her simply because there is no law to prosecute him?” May we ask, if non-consensual sex in a marriage is rape, then isn’t a husband also being raped when an unwilling husband is forced to perform sex? Isn’t the right of a man violated then? Should  the dignity of a man as a human being  evaporate just because he is married?

It is true that Marital rape has been criminalized by several countries. But in all such, the crime is addressed as a gender neutral one. Let us take the case of the USA, in the state of Ohio, marital rape is addressed thus  “No person shall engage in sexual conduct with another when the offender purposely compels the other person to submit by force or threat of force."  See, it is completely gender neutral. Similarly, Maryland law states that, if the spouses are living together, a prosecution can take place only if the accused "uses force or threat of force and the act is without the consent of the spouse."

Domestic violence act and cruelty against woman law i.e IPC  498A are one sided and biased legislations which have resulted in the ruining of entire families. This is due to false cases being hoisted on the husbands by wives since 498A has the unique position in law where a man is pronounced guilty until proven innocent - on the mere unverified words of a woman. The supreme court has come down heavily on the misuse of this law by women and had ruled that any complaint apart from one which sites grave injury should be cleared by a citizen’s council first . So much so for the image of Indian woman as truthful angels.

Also, in both DV act and 498A there is adequate protection for woman against any kind of violence by husbands. Then, why this new marital rape law? In India where woman have been known to blatantly misuse woman favouring laws which do not have any penal clause for misuse, criminalising non-consensual sex in marriage as rape,  termed as 'marital rape' is a regressive step.

There has been a sudden spurt of activity in the online media immediately after the government had filed an affidavit in High court stating that criminalizing marital rape was neither necessary nor possible in the current scenario. The ‘Indian Express’ itself had published close to 10 articles on the same generally voicing the demands of the feminists. The Quint, The wire, Firstpost etc have been hyper active immediately after this and have published reams and reams of publications supporting the criminalization. Is there an agenda in it? I am reminded of what Swathi Maliwal, the chairperson of DCW had to say about funding of protests after the Nirbhaya incident. She stated in a letter, generally commenting on the work of her predecessor thus, that  "a staggering Rs 2.9 lakh was spent just to ferry crowds to the event in a manner which is befitting only of political parties and not a statutory body”. MHA reports also has accused Indira Jaisinghs’s NGO of using foreign funds for lobbying with parliamentarians for making woman leaning laws and had banned the NGO for misusing foreign funds spending them on  non intended purposes.  Is foreign money  being spent on this campaign also by feminists ?

This sudden hyperactivity of feminists for criminalizing non-consensual sex in marriage is a direct result of the diminished harassment value of 498A towards men due to the recent supreme court ruling. A better way of harassing husbands would be to criminalise non-consensual sex in marriage, since as the law stands today, only woman can file such complaint and  the jail term for this is  seven years, whereas for 498A it is only three. For a country reeling under false cases hoisted on husbands by wives due to biased and ill framed laws on which even the Supreme court is critical about, one more such law will totally break the family structure in this country with dire consequence for future generations. 

498A battered. Seriously!!! Why Shalini Nairs's Article is worth a laugh and more.

After reading this article in The Indian Express titled 498A battered, http://indianexpress.com/article/india/498a-battered-supreme-court-misuse-of-dowry-law-women-harassment-cruelty-sneha-sharma-allahabad-hc-4794220/, I felt compelled to write this since most of her arguments were totally wrong and highly misandric.

Feminists are on an overdrive, since they have been given a small pinch on their ears by the Supreme Court like we elders do to misbehaving kids - to remind them that society does not believe them anymore especially in the case of 498A. For all this author's  melodrama of how woman are suffering due to battery by husbands, she does not anywhere give any indication on why such consternation when the SC had only wanted the complaints to be checked for prima facie truthfulness  and not for the law to be scrapped - as it rightly should.

She goes on to quote NFHS3 survey. These surveys have only woman as the sample points in the study and no men are interviewed for the same. This has been pointed out by MRAs for long. For instance, question is asked to woman on  how many times  a husband has hit her. But the same question is never asked to men whether wives have hit them. Then, what credibility is there in such results derived from such surveys. It has been a sick strategy of feminists - to make a base premise made on questionable surveys and then build a case based on such premise.

 An article published in 'The Wire' was written by another feminist journo with conclusions drawn  on a survey carried out by some organisation called  Vimochana on misuse of 498A. She goes on to say that the survey is unpublished. How can any responsible journalist or a journal base their arguments  on an 'unpublished survey'. We have misgivings as to whether such a survey really took place in the first place.If it had really taken place, then there would  be  results in the survey which are unpalatable to the feminists and are against their feminist interests. That may be the only reason why such a survey if it exists is  even now unpublished.

Without going any further on the arguments put up by this author, let us see what the former president of the Republic of India, that too a woman, has to say on this subject. Smt Pratibha Patil says

 "Another disquieting trend has been that women themselves have not been innocent of abusing women. At times women have played an unsavory, catalytic role in perpetrating violence whether against the daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law or female domestic helps. Instances exist whereby protective legal provisions for the benefit of women have been subjected to distortion and misuse to wreak petty vengeance and to settle scores. Some surveys have concluded that 6 to 10 percent of dowry complaints are false and were registered primarily to settle scores. It is unfortunate if laws meant to protect women get abused as instruments of oppression." 

So, the honourable President of the Republic of India is convinced, based on surveys, that 6 to 10 percent of dowry complaints are false.This is not the cases where courts decides to let free the  accused because the prosecution cannot prove the case. But what Smt. Pratibha Patil is referring to are the cases where it has been proved that such cases are false.  Taking the average 8 % as proved false cases, then also we have around 15000 proved false cases being registered every year. Which means, a minimum 15000 men are being incarcerated without trial every year based on this law, on the mere unverified demands of a wife. Not only them, their relatives from two year old kids up to 90 year old grand parents are routinely incarcerated with them. 

The person who seems to have  taken a serious affront to the Supreme court judgement seems to be Indira Jaisingh, a noted feminist and the additional Solicitor General in the Congress government. Jaisingh has been chastised by the MHA reports in the FCRA violation cases in which she is a serial accused. MHA report has this to say about her and actions of her NGO.  " Rs 88,978 was paid to Delhi Network of Positive People on October 21, 2009 for paying 250 people for holding a dharna outside the Law Ministry”. It further reported that “The MHA inspection team found that a large part of the money was spent on activities which were outside the list of items for which it had been collected. Paying volunteers to organise dharnas, receiving foreign contributions while working for the government, sending foreign donations outside India, spending foreign money to lobby with parliamentarians are some of the main violations listed in the report.”TOI further reported “The report says Rs 13 lakh was spent on media and advocacy with 67 MPs in April 2010 and 99 MPs in August 2010”.

So, the moot point - what credibility is there for what such people say? 

The question to be asked now is without even allowing  a person to utter a word in his defence, can the state arrest a man and his relatives in a scenario where more than 15000 proven false cases are being filed every year? Is  such a stance correct  for a democracy whose bounden responsibility is the protection of  human rights of it's citizens? 

The legislature is the true culprit succumbing  to the lobbying of the feminist and not coming to the protection of the citizens by amending 498A -  eyeing the woman vote bank. It is a crying shame that the Supreme court of the country itself is forced to step in when such gross violation of human rights of the citizens becomes a daily affair. It is all the more shameful that articles like this tries to drive wedges in the efforts of the Supreme court to provide justice to the citizens of this nation.

    

When does consensual sex become rape on promise to marry

This pertains to the programme counterpoint on Manorama Channel of 27th July 2017.

The discussion was totally misandric to say the least. The lady Shahina was totally feministic and her comment that in a long relationship of consensual sex between a man and a woman, the moment the woman’s mind decides a consensual sexual incident as rape, everyone has to acknowledge  the same is pure evil and extreme form of female chauvinism.  She  also has made a blatant lie that 498A has been made non compoundable. She further lies  that  the Supreme court’s  lenient views on 498A is not based on any data. Please read what the supreme court has to say on this as well as the data on the same.

“Crime in India 2012 Statistics” published by National Crime Records Bureau, Ministry of Home Affairs shows arrest of 1,97,762 persons all over India during the year 2012 for offence under Section 498-A of the IPC, 9.4% more than the year 2011. Nearly a quarter of those arrested under this provision in 2012 were women i.e. 47,951 which depicts that mothers and sisters of the husbands were liberally included in their arrest net. Its share is 6% out of the total persons arrested under the crimes committed under Indian Penal Code. It accounts for 4.5% of total crimes committed under different sections of penal code, more than any other crimes excepting theft and hurt. The rate of charge-sheeting in cases under Section 498A, IPC is as high as 93.6%, while the conviction rate is only 15%, which is lowest across all heads. As many as 3,72,706 cases are pending trial of which on current estimate, nearly 3,17,000 are likely to result in acquittal”.

From the above, it is very clear how much of suffering of the innocents has been unleashed due to this legislation alone. Her comments  show   the depths to which feminists  plunge to achieve  their narcissts and chauvanistic agenda. What we, humanists are fighting for is not to get the 498a made non cognizable, but to make it bailable. We, MRAs have achieved  significant success  in this as evidenced by Supreme court’s ruling yesterday that arrest can happen in 498a only after the complaint has been seen through by local panels to see whether it is false or not.

http://www.dailypioneer.com/nation/set-up-panels-to-curb--false-dowry-cases-sc.html

Shahina also made a very valid feministic point which us MRAs always have been saying are the root cause for such ‘laws’. She speaks the language of hate by saying  that men can suffer now, obviously referring to the case of a male reporter of Mathrubhumi being booked for rape even though it is clear the lady and the man were in a relation and had consensual sex. She says that as the world today is a patriarchial society and men laid the social rules, men have to suffer today for the false accusations and the resultant incarceration and punishment  they are made to suffer by woman. This is exactly what we are saying. The laws such as 498A, DV, anti rape law are hate laws formulated in the totally biased way as we see today is the handiwork of active lobbying by feminists by ways fair and foul to vent their man hate  or misandry as Shahina so eloquently quipped in Counterpoint. Such evil provisions in the anti rape law is also bound to go as they  take away the human rights of all men and are as such  inhuman and evil.

Seeing the face of a single male in the panel (a rather hilarious  attempt to make the panel seem democratic and reasonable) and his laughable attempt to side up  with the feminists reminded  us of the faces of Khurshid Anwar and Tarun Tejpal. I will say no more and will leave it at that….

The anchor has been seriously exposed as an out and out feminist whose sole role in this ‘discussion’ was to favor with the other feminists in the show in their inhuman remarks that a man can be labelled a rapist and arrested by the mere unverified utterances of a woman even after the woman having consensual sex with him. And aren’t we broadcasting this in Kerala, where the people are familiar with the Rajeenas, the Sarithas, the Shalus, the Anushanthis… and the first goonda woman Shobhana John. Aren’t we living in a country where the Aushantis and the Indrani Mukherjis kill their own daughters to cling on to their lust either for sex or for money? Then, on what basis do we frame laws where the only unverified words of a woman becomes sufficient to incarcerate a man?

Feminism stands exposed today as a movement of hatred, bigotry, immorality and  unethical practices. The channel could refrain from such biased programmes since people have seen through the bluff and bluster of feminism and looks down upon it. To conclude, I am reminded of a piece floating around on twitter yesterday, it read something like “ When a woman goes back on promise to marry, she becomes an empowered woman, when a man does the same, he becomes a rapist….”.
