The Supreme Court agreed with senior
advocate Indira Jaising for a comprehensive relook into its earlier judgment
diluting the stringency of Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code that many
believed was abused by some women to wreak vengeance on estranged husbands and
in-laws. The court last year restrained police from effecting the immediate
arrest of husbands and in-laws on receipt of complaints from women about
cruelty in the matrimonial home and instead ordered setting up of committees to
examine the complaint, talk to the couples and try for reconciliation.
