Original sentence: In India, the payment of a dowry was prohibited in 1961 under Indian civil law and subsequently by Sections 304B and 498a of the Indian Penal Code were enacted to make it easier for the wife to seek redress from potential harassment by the husband's family
Edited sentence: (This would directly hamper the Indian Constitution as being not Socialistic..and so, this Law has to be amended in such a way that it would not be misused hereafter).304 B is a bigger crime and it should not be dealt like 498A.Don't bring down the value of 304B, just to utilize the chance of misusing 498A and involving every doing-well-persons in the family in false cases.If things are not set well now, there would be a day when the innocent husbands(literally, white collared and are doing well in their Life) will have to be in a situation to marry only some one who is equally rich and qualified as they are.In India, the payment of a dowry was prohibited in 1961 under Indian civil law and subsequently by Sections 498a of the Indian Penal Code were enacted to make it easier for the wife to seek redress from potential harassment by the husband's family.It is False 498A cases that are hindering the whole damn Society right now, and they are actually being framed in such a way that even the actual cases are being acquitted away.It is clearly said and written in Malimath Committee's reviews that it is the false cases that are hindering the whole damn cause of Law as these falsely framed cases are helping a Wolf who is really asking for dowry and ill treating his Wife.It is not genuine 498A's which are apprehending the present day society, but the falsely framed ones which are an actual threat to the whole Society.Sensible thinking: No matter what happens, if some one gets killed or kills herself....there should / have been a reason to do so--please don't try to bring this Act / Section of Law like 498A which is being highly misused.This section is a bigger crime than 498A, and not every 304B should be accompanied with 498A (hope, the Lawyer's and Law Maker's agree with it as there is common sense involved in this argument)
