NGO’s working for Men’s Welfare strongly and jointly condemn the legal recommendations made by the Justice Verma committee.


This press conference is being conducted by a coalition of NGOs under the umbrella of the Save Indian Family  (SIF). All NGOs are non-funded , non-profit NGOs fighting for men’s rights, Gender Equality, Judicial accountability and balanced laws. This press conference has been scheduled to highlight the shocking level of biased and anti-male legal recommendations released by the Justice Verma committee.

The coalition is shocked and finds it hard to believe that given the credibility and collective legal experience of the committee how could the committee choose and include only archaic and highly dangerous clauses and exclude female sexual predators who are guilty of committing sexual assault .

Presumption of guilt of a man, removal of misuse clause for women and adding an additional section for matrimonial rape in additional to already existing 15 laws for women in a matrimonial setting is something very preposterous on part of the committee. While the human rights, social rights, and legal rights of women were brought up many times by Justice Verma in his press conference, none of the same rights have been conferred on men through his legal recommendations. Men cannot expect to get a fair trial should any of these recommendations come into existence.

The coalition expresses grave doubt on the level of due diligence claimed by the committee in the law amendment recommendations and believes it is essentially a blind copy of the recommendations proposed by a handful of aggressive women’s organizations invited for deposition.

1. From the report it is clear that a handful of women’s groups were selectively invited for deposition in front of the committee. Most of these groups invited are widely known for their aggressive anti-male approach to gender laws and inclination to safeguard female criminals from crimes against men.

2. That not a single organization working for men’s welfare was invited shows the poor democratic values displayed by the committee. The committee owes an explanation to the citizenry on how it could get the time to listen so many women’s groups but could not find the time to listen to even one men’s welfare group even though men constitute 50% of the population.

3. Female sexual predators have been completely exempted from sexual assault just on account of their gender and the perpetrator has been made a man ONLY. This a unbelievably anti-male stance since the legal systems in whole world as well as the Indian law commission and in its years of collective legal expertise believes that women are as likely to commit sexual assault as men are.

4. Punishment for Misuse of sexual harassment at workplace has now been removed without any reason whatsoever. Also protection for men from sexual harassment has not been included. World over most of the countries have gender neutral sexual harassment laws, a fact that this committee has ignored for the reasons not known.


5. The fact of false rape cases has not been intentionally addressed even as the media and police from various states report that false rapes constitute over 75% to 90% rapes in India. It is believed that rape laws are misused even more than IPC 498A by some studies.

6. Marital rape has been included as a DUPLICATE section even though DV act (Section 3(ii)) is more than capable of addressing these issues. This has been done just to duplicate another cruelty law to increase misuse against men with another anti-male matrimonial recommendation and is a clear violation as per the settled principles of Double Jeopardy. It is shocking that instead of reducing the number of laws for cruelty this committee in all its collective experience has recommended the increase of additional law. As always, women sexual predators have been exempted from punishment for sexually harassing husbands and male children.

7. The committee has ignored the principles of natural justice and in Rape cases supports presumption of guilt on the accused and presumption of truthfulness on the female complainant. We are surprised on how a committee which such eminent panel members chose to ignore this fundamental pillar of justice even as the police reports states that over 74% to 90% rapes in India are false. These recommendations flout the basic principle for laying down the Laws on India which ensures that innocents would get punished by “assumption of being guilty” and going through “grilling Legal process” without any fault.

8. The committee has also not recommended any solution to the overwhelming majority of rape cases in Indian which are consensual sex converted to rape later by women when the relationship sours or marriage does not take place for fault of either of parties.

9. A court in Delhi has recently ticked off a mother and daughter duo for habitually filing false rape cases for grabbing property. There are millions more like these who have filed false cases when jilted or with a hidden agenda. Since over 74% to 90% reported rape cases are false in India, a person accused of sexual assault cannot expect to get a fair trial at all if all of the relevant evidence of the alleged victim’s sexual history is not presented before the court. However the committee has recommended that past sexual escapades of a woman will have no bearing on the current cases essentially striking down another defense of the innocently accused.

10. The Justice Verma committee has diluted Section 14 of the Sexual Harassment Bill appears concerned that it is liable for misuse , while on the issue of 498a misuse which is widely documented the law commission noted that misuse of a section is not ground for removing it. Why are double standards being followed for men and women ?
Demands:

The coalition of multinational NGOs supporting this press conference strongly opposes the legal recommendations and amendments and states that these recommendations if implemented will lead to millions of men being denied protection from crimes committed by women. 

They will essentially be deemed as rapists without any hope of getting a fair trail even as female sexual predators and female false rape case and sexual harassment filers will roam freely in society. The coalition hereby demands that the legal recommendations be scrapped in its entirety and below amends be made.

1. Make Rape Law Gender Neutral as in other countries of the globe with punishment for female sex offenders.

2. Relationship consensual cases should not be allowed to be converted into rape cases as it is insane to do so.

3. Matrimonial rape must be removed as it a duplication of law and will be subject to heavy misuse.

3. Sections like presumption of guilt, suppressing previous sexual behavior and any other section that interferes with right to innocence of an accused and prevents the accused from getting a fair and just trial should be removed.

3. False complaints of Rape cases and sexual harassment cases should be punished severely, so that men are protected.

4. Introduce the much required police reforms and Judicial reforms to ensure justice to all.

Workplace Harassment bill to be made gender neutral

This press release is by a coalition of NGOs under the umbrella of the Save Indian Family (SIF).


All NGOs are non-funded , non-profit NGOs fighting for , Gender Equality, Judicial accountability and balanced laws by creating awareness towards the creation of balanced gender neutral laws so that they are both constitutional and provide justice to all individuals irrespective of gender and sexual orientation. This press release has been sent to highlight the undemocratic law making process of India and expose the fascist nature of the same.

Workplace Harassment at Workplace Bill is in its current form is unacceptable for a sane and just society because

1.         Women and Child Ministry(WCD) is desperately trying to sneak in an highly anti male bill by hook or crook. The fact that in India the definition of Sexual assault incorporates males but the definition of sexual harassment refuses to consider men as victims is lunacy compounded with ministerial arrogance at best. When challenged with facts WCD minister states that they will conduct a survey of men later which they did not conduct for the past 15 years, but would pass another draconian anti-male biased bill anyways now?  Is this behavior lunacy and fascism?
2.         Women and Child Development ministry's internal committee which is expected to conduct the survey is nothing more than a kangaroo court when to come to men's issues will conduct a survey if men are being harassed at the workplace. Why is the WCD  not using the Economic times and Synovate Survey on sexual harassment. Is it because when the data does not back their preconceived agenda then the Kangaroo courts at WCD prefer doing their own surveys. Economic times is India's premier business paper and Synovate is one of the worlds most credible research organization. Below is the link to the news item and survey findings.


As part of this very credible and extensive research 527 people queried in the survey across seven cities in the country -Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune. Below are excerpts from the report to expose how often Males are sexually harassed.
a) Bangalore: - Half of who agreed that they have been sexually harassed at their workplace said they have been harassed by their female colleagues. Only 32% said that they were harassed by Male colleagues.
b) Hyderabad: - 29% of said they have been sexually harassed by their female bosses while 48% accused their male bosses.

c) Delhi: - Numbers are even, with 43% pointing a finger at their female colleagues and an equal number accusing their male colleagues of sexual harassment.

d)  38% of the respondents agreed that in today's workplaces, even men are as vulnerable to sexual harassment as women. In Hyderabad and Mumbai, 55% of the respondents agreed to this point.

e) Many of the corporate and PSUs, ET spoke to, agree to this new trend and point out that many male employees do not come out in the open and file complaints because they feel they will not be believed, considering India's social beliefs. They usually seek a transfer to get out of the situation or find a new job.
From the above facts of the report it can be concluded that Sexual Harassment of Males at Workplace in India is more than that of women since in most cases males do not even file complaints for the fear of Social ridicule.
3.               Indian industry, media and people alike have overwhelmingly demanded a gender neutral workplace harassment bill and country’s gender laws cannot be determined by a few radical feminist organizations in collusion with the WCD.
4.               The bill was gender neutral to begin with till the intervention of the WCD and militant   womens NGO’s after which the name of the bill was changed to The Protection of Women from Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill, 2010.
5.                  WCD Ministry which stated in 2010 that “Protection of men is also not the mandate of Ministry of WCD” as the justification for not to include men under the ambit of the Sexual harassment bill now states that it will conduct a study on men’s sexual harassment. This clearly points to the severe desperation and the dubious nature of gender lawmaking in India. Removal of WCD of law making is now extremely urgent given the extremely poor credibility of this organization as a gender law making body.
6.                  Over 35 countries in the world have gender neutral sexual harassment policies, a fact that was presented many times to the WCD only to be dubiously ignored each time.
7.               It out-rightly violates the essence of article 15 of Indian constitution which prohibits discrimination against any citizen on the grounds of religion and sex. Positive discrimination of women does not men absolving them for punishment for committing offences because of their gender. It has been acknowledged the world over that workplace harassment is gender neutral crime and women have equal or more propensity of committing it. Vishaka judgment nowhere mentioned that women must be absolved of the offence of sexual harassment because they are women.
8.            The Drafting committee arrogantly ignored overwhelming public opinions asking for the bill to made gender neutral and thereby exposed the fascist law making attitude with which gender laws are drafted in India.
Demands :

The coalition of multinational NGOs supporting this press conference strongly opposes the Bill in the present form and demands that the current draft prepared by the WCD be discarded and a fresh draft be created taking into consideration the following points.
a)      The Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill must be reviewed and amended immediately to make it Gender Neutral. The word Men/women to be replaced by person or employee.
b)      No direct money should be given to the person who complaint, all fine should be go to an employee welfare fund. This will reduce the instances of misuse and extortion.
c)      If the case is found the false/fabricated or filed with an intention derive personal benefit, the person should be fined or sacked summarily without any discretion.
d)      No outsiders must e allowed into the committees .  No women’s rights NGO;s or NGO working for the cause of women must be allowed to earn revenue from sitting in these committees and converting normal cases into cases sexual harassment.
e)      The offence to be categorized into to 5 levels and the fine or disciplinary action should be as per level of then offence found in enquiry.
f)        If any person is not satisfied with the committee’s findings and conclusions they will have the right  approach the court, but no way the employer or enquiry committee member should be involved in that case to defend the accuser.

SIF Movement Sprades ray of Hope for abused Husband's Family!

Save Indian family , this is a name which few people would have heard or cared about 5 years back, but today this is a force to recon with . The members has reached lakhs both Indian and abroad and most members consist of well heeled educated Men and their families . SIF Also has a huge number of women followers, they consists of sisters , mothers , sister- in –laws , grandmothers and also unrelated women . These women are members because they too are falsely implicated by India's wife protection laws. The men of SIF try to protect the women of their families from the extortionist wives , corrupt police and Biased judiciary.




In the last 150 days SIF and their associated more than 35+NGO all over India, had been mentioned in the media for more than 60 days or in other words 60 different articles of SIF are published in the media.

If every article has been read at least 100,000 people then about 8 million people would have knows or heard about SIF and that is something to be proud of .

We believe in the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and we get our inspiration from this great man , We believe in his words

" First they ignore you , then they mock you , then they fight you , then you win "!!

Supreme court Justice Markendu Katju seems to be still is in the second stage where he still believes that Men are something to be exploited and made fun of , but in other areas we are well into the third stage where we are waging a war against many fronts .

We wage a war against the biased laws in India which are created only for wives and do not think of the welfare of other women also leave alone the men .

We fight against the biased judiciary which teats men with disdain and pass judgements which are totally biased and one sided against men no matter who is at fault .

We also fight against the blatant number fudging that is done by the Women organizations to come up with sensational false numbers in order to get media attention and attract more foreign funds with which they can push for more biased laws and justify the existence of the current biased laws.

Then we also actively wage a war against corruption in the Police department and Crime Against Women cells because these places have becomes more like an extortion den where compromises are made and money is extorted from the helpless husband and his family after being trapped under a biased law.

SIF is aware the odds stacked against it , it knows very well that media and industry would love to see more families break up , because family breakup increases spending and drives up the demands for the goods and products .

"A united family will own one TV while a dived family will need two is the simple reasoning . "

The Police and lawyers do not want the laws to change , because then they will lose income from the lakhs of false cases , bail proceeding from false/fabricated dowry cases and the general ability to extort money from helpless people implicated under these laws .

Women's organizations do not want gender neutral laws since they would then have close their `Women's right shop ` and be out of business , since they would not be able to get foreign aid in the name of Woman empowerment .

But SIF knows it will win, because SIF is on the same side as truth is and we believe that "Truth Always Wins"( Satyamev Jayate ).

SIF may not have the blessings of the government of India , but we do have the blessings of thousands of mothers , grandmothers and sisters who work and fight with us day in and day out trying to educate the slumbering Indian populace .

SIF has the support of hundreds of small but nevertheless important NGO's who work with us to spread the word on how gender biased laws and try to wake up the people of India to gender equality.

We know we will win and we will succeed in creating a Ministry for the Welfare of Indian Men .

We know that the night is darkest before the sun shines and the SIF no doubt that the sun will shine and spread the rays of hope , peace and family harmony that will keep the Indian family as a cohesive unit for the next ten thousand years .
Request all honest citizen of India , Join SIF Team to Stop such legal terrorism against Indian men and demand to replace the word "Husband/wife" to "Spouse" and "Men/Women" to "Person"  to all related LAW or policy like all over world follow instead of making assumption that all Women born in Raja Harish Chandra family ( never lie) and all Men born in Criminal family.

PPT to stop the legal terrorism

    10 Step Planning by a 498A/DV Women!


    10 Step Planning by a 498A/ DV Women!

    Last week I meet one of my friend Samir , a smart , hard working guy , working in a reputed company and one year back I saw them in a TV show ( represented by Samir and his wife Sarikha ) , and they seems a made for each other . In show Shiraka told the whole nation that She is very proud to have a Husband like Samir . They know each other for more than 4 years before marriage and they able to convince both of their parents , that they are made for each other .

    But last week when I saw him , sorry unable to belive they end up with a legal battle , and under the so called 498A ( anti dowry LAW ) had been fired to him , his mother , sister and AL other 7- relative , except their pet Dog name every one in FIR list. Along with that CRPC125, DV act, Section-24 also as a incentive.

    I just asked how all this happened ??


    1. During Honeymoon :- Sarikaha Says :-

    "" Darling , I always wanted to stay in a Hotel , where all the waiters and manager would take my orders and i would not have to do anything except eat and sleep. Cannot we stay in hotel all our life ?? You can go out and work and I Spend all your money ""

    2.In Telephone :- ( Cool and normal talk by Sarikha )

    " You know , why I am not speaking to you . I told you I will never speak you again as you did not bother to call my sister yesterday as I told you . Now you expect me to talk to you . Go to hell ."

    3.In Night when Samir ask for a child :-

    " I have got married the biggest fool on this planet. You do not know how to keep me happy . You do not earn enough to keep a mid. I cannot do the household work and you have the guts to think of planning a family . I have committed the biggest blunder by marrying you . I had thought that you would be earning enough to keep me happy , but i did not know that you are a Bhikhari. Your bloody parents never made you understand that before marrying you should have thought of how are you going to satisfy all the demands of your wife and that you should kept one cook and one maid servant after your marriage because it is not possible for me to cook food and wash utensils .""

    4. Sarikha go back to her parents house and Samir call for come back :-
    "" Now I will meet you at court ""

    5.Next step by Sarikah:-
    "" If you will not leave Delhi and do as I tell you , then I have other means of making you follow me wherever I go . I will not take no for an answer. Don’t dare to tell me that you will not leave Delhi. I want you decide with in a week or else I will make sure that you regret your decision for the rest of your life .""

    6. More pressure :-
    "" You do not have money in your pocket to buy a flat. Now my parents are ready to live with you in Delhi , but are saying that you cannot buy a flat in my name in Delhi and you do not want to shift either in Kolkata or Bangalore . You are a self made man . Do as I tell you . I am telling you I have to look after my parents . We sister have to be near them. They are getting old . I will only allow you to stay in Delhi , if you buy a three bed room flat in my name or else you will have to shift to Bangalore or Kolkata . The choice is yours .""

    7.Secend step by Sarikha :-

    "" See you either accept my terms or you will have to pay trial. I will make sure that you go to jail and loose your job just the way i made you loose the previous job . I will never allow you live peacefully . I do not want to stay in Delhi .I have to be near my parents in Kolkata or In Bangalore with my sister .""

    8.Samir call to your in laws to convince but shok to get the reply as under :-

    "" You do not have standard to be the husband of our daughter . Do whatever she says , otherwise you don’t know one of my brother is advocate , he will make your life miserable , you don’t know the Indian LAW , your whole family be behind the bar , as soon as we decide .""

    9.Now final step , call to Samir office land line :-

    "' Shut up , you dam fool , why don’t you understand . I am asking you whether you have taken any decision , as i cannot wait till eternity. You have to take the decision with in 4 days or else mark my words , i will ruin your life ""


    10 . Final Action by Sarikha :-

    "" All right you will not understand like this . I think I will have to now teach you a lesson . You wait and see what i will do . I will lodge a police complaint against you and your family members and make all of you repent for the rest of your life . Be prepared , I will finish you off. The office in which you are standing would be compelled to through you out. You just wait and watch. Don’t forget , one of my mama is an Advocate and my another mama is MMBS Doctor in Peerless Hospital "".

    Then next week , Samir got the notice from Women cell that a complain of 498A ( dowry harassment , mental cruelity ) had been loaded .

    Now reconciliation process are going on !!!!

    Samir in big question , what he should do ??

    Police says , either you accept the terms of Sarikha demands or be prepare for going to jail along with your all parents . One more option is there , arrange 25 lacks rupees and go for a mutual Divorce .

    Slowly , I request to Samir , better accept what Sarikha asked , after all money is not the all the thing , you will earn more than 25 lacks with in few years .

    Samir shout back: " She gone to police and file the false complain under dowry harassment, her parents want to put me behind the bar, I will fight and if required will go to jail, but not going to suffer for the whole life."

    "Whatever money I have will prefer to through in Garbage , but not a single penny to her under Blackmailing and extortion , let her fight at court and get whatever she can ."

    End of a happy , lovely married life , with in 2 years !!

    New Born of another SIF Commando , who refused to surrender in front of Legal Terrorist, instead prefer to take the bullet on Chest.

    Great power given in 498A ,Legal Terrorist will not stop here , further Domestic Violence Act, CRPC125, Section 24 in all the LAW based on assumption all the wives born in Raja Harish Chandra Family ( never lie) and all men born in Criminal Family.

    Our great LAW maker forget that " To build a relationship we put a lot of pain , sacrifice , but to break a relationship required only two seconds !!!!! "
    Supreme Court of India term the same as "Legal Terrorism" but our Government is sleeping since 1983 as NCW, WCD,CSR,AIWDA , Lawyers Collective and thier associates, keep on justifying all law get misused , so let such LAW also get missued, let two month old baby apply for bail, let 92 years old women go to jail, but such "Legal Terrorism " should not be stopped at all. 
    They forget to relies history witness any terrorist activity can't give freedom, it only kills the innocent people.

    As a , result more and more normal disputes converted to Criminal cases to show crime against women is increasing and make further new and new law. Our Constitution says , a person even in murder case can't be punished twice, but in India in case of marriage disputes a Husband is punished not once 5 to 6 times in different cases , let he is right or wrong.

    Does the same not violation of Natural Justice and Indian constitution? 


    For a same allegation( true or false) 5 to 6 cases field , like some one ordering a PIZZA in court and our Supreme court also unable to take any proactive action to punish such people who abuse the process of Law for their own benefit.




    Join SIF Team to Stop this legal terrorism of India and demand to replace the word Husband/wife to Spouse to all marriage related LAW or policy like all over world follow instead of making assumption that all wives born in Raja Harish Chandra family ( never lie) and all husbands born in Criminal family.

    (Crime Is Crime. Punishment should be irrespective of gender, religion and caste. Let us be honest and fight for truth)
