An idea to empower greedy wives

“Domestic Violence” should necessarily mean some kind of physical or mental violence. But in a move to empower the women who claim themselves as victims, interim reliefs are sometimes ordered in favour of women who have evidently not gone through any kind of violence. Cases last for years and till then the accuser manages to accumulate some good amount of money which helps her fund her false litigation as well as makes the whole effort of putting a false case worthwhile. Isn’t this a wonderful way of propagating this law and then claim that “we have been able to grant relief to xy,000 women under this act and this proves the success of its implementation”.

This makes us think that ultimately the crime has not been committed by the accused in these particular cases when the accuser hasn’t even stayed with them, then how do we justify the act of giving her reliefs? We will have to stop these reliefs ultimately else the accused can always challenge the order. So, something needs to be done to keep it going and to make sure that this act creates thousands and infact crores of Victims who are labeled as “accused” and who are funding these wives for their empowerment ?

Well, here I have an idea for the empowerment of wives. Let us also cover the wife’s “dreams” also in the jurisdiction of the act. So, whichever DV allegation appears to be false and the case is weak on merits can always take benefit of this new clause which can be used to empower the so called “victim wife”. Then she can always say that she was tortured and beaten up, not given food and clothing, etc in her dreams…. (list cannot be exhaustive as it varies with how imaginative the wife can be). The best part is that the accused will never be able to collect any evidence against those alleged offenses as they are not allowed to visit or photograph the wife’s dream. Also, there can be no medical test for establishing the claims as false. This will enable the authorities to grant even more reliefs and empower more wives, thereby proving the success of the newly blossoming law.
