The women of India have long awaited a day when they would be able to acuse men in thier country of mistreating and abusing them. Their day has finally came. Last week the Domestic Violence Act of 2005 was finally a law! One complaint and arrest has been made so far. This new act covers almost all thier women, which is a start in the right direction for them. It protects not only wives and live in counterparts but also the sisters, mothers, mother-in-laws and female children, against any abuse or threat of abuse. The penalty is RS 20,000 (which is approx. $444.40) fine and maybe prison time after a trial. Hey, this may not be the BEST plan I've heard but this IS a breath of fresh air for these women! If you'd like to read some about it yourself there are some articles below....
