http://tinyurl.com/2j4sn3 - 142 clicksIndia has a law preventing a husband and his family from demanding too high of a dowry from the wife's family. Men in India are forming groups to discuss how some of their wives have used the laws for power in marital conflicts. By falsely accusing a man of "demanding too much dowry", even after a divorce, vengeful spiteful wife can have him thrown in jail. One man complained that his ex would blackmail him with threats of this. More and more the anti-abuse laws in that country are being misused as they are in America, England, Australia and New Zealand.
