Indian NGOs claiming to be
working for Women Empowerment
Now a day, matrimonial disputes are on rise and
on instigations from NGOs claiming to be working for women empowerment, many
young brides are filing false court cases against their husband and old parents
in laws. These court cases subsequently cannot be proved and turn out to be
false. But the matrimonial love, affection and cordiality vanish and the
families break up permanently. The main reason for the rise in court cases is
over zealous activists of NGOs claiming to be working for women
empowerment. Whenever a woman approaches
these NGOs with a grievance, the activists of the NGOs, without verifying or
cross checking the details of the grievance by hearing the other side from the
husband or the in laws, simply rush to courts to file cases under provisions of
various Acts, provided for protection and betterment of women. These activists
also ask the woman to take revenge on the in laws by implicating them in these false
Domestic Violence or Dowry Harassment (498a) cases. After filing such false
cases, the harassed husband and in laws are asked to shell out a hefty sum as
compensation or alimony to the woman. This settlement amount then is shared by
the woman and activists of the NGOs.
These NGOs, especially run by Christian Missionaries
who have wide network abroad, also collect donations from all over the world by
depicting the plight of Indian women in a very negative and pathetic way. These
NGOs also spoil India’s image abroad, just for donations’ sake.
It is therefore suggested that the State/Central
Government should make it mandatory for all the NGOs claiming to be working for
women empowerment to always follow the principle of natural justice and hear
the other side of the story from husband and in laws before taking side of any
woman. And, if the cases filed by any
woman with the active assistance from the activists of an NGO as Advocates turn
out to be false, then the NGO should be suitably warned or blacklisted for
creating family discords and burdening the courts with false cases. Was this information helpful? |
