Generally, I avoid taking cases for husbands. But sometimes, once or twice, I had to take such cases where I see gross injustice for husband and his family.
These are hard cases.
There is a phrase called "Judicial Prejudice"... It means Judges will be preincliend to dismiss case of husband and to let the wife win.
It is since time of Mahabharata. Lord Bhishm also refused to use his weapons against a woman.
But we are talking about plight of Lawyers who take up and fight cases for husband. They suffer personal psychological defeats in mind when they lose such case.
Today, I had to appear for a husband and to expose his plight. It gave me stress to read his case overnight and to imagine his plight and plight of his parents. In many cases one of the parents dies due to stress of a false DV case..
But fortunately today was a good day. Their Lordships listened. They passed a win-win order. The husband felt happy and relieved.
So did I feel. I felt too relieved and happy.
To hear or to read stories of warring wife and husband never refreshes our mind. They only make us sad.
No one knows why laws relating to wife and husband are so loosely drafted. The words and phrases used in such laws are hardly capable of being defined with certainty. They are more subjective and less objectively verifiable. This give birth to thousands of false cases. Every unhappy marriage now becomes a battle in Criminal Courts.
Untill some law minister decides to bring certainty in these law, every husband who is fighting a matrimonial case has a lot to complain about.
