The suicide case of Bengaluru-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineer Atul Subhash and the video released by him earlier has shocked the entire country. In this video he has made many sensational revelations. People have posted slogans in favor of Atul Subhash by posting posts on social media as a campaign.
Now the police have arrested the wife, brother-in-law and mother-in-law of accused Atul from different places in this case. All three have been sent to judicial custody. This is not the first case where a person has died due to torture and torture in their married life. Women have also been taking such steps after being unhappy with something after marriage, but in Atul’s case, big questions are being raised on the existing laws and their one-sided role in dealing with the problems of married life. Now many women are also advocating that there is no alternative to dowry, domestic violence and the huge amount of money demanded by men during divorce.
It is a common belief that even if a person does nothing, he still has to pay a huge amount at the time of divorce to get out of the marriage. There has been debate regarding this from time to time but till now no concrete solution has been found. After Atul’s case, the advocacy has intensified that the law should now be amended. A public interest litigation has been filed in the Supreme Court to review and reform the existing laws related to dowry and domestic violence.
In this, there has been a demand to form a committee of experts to review and improve the existing laws related to dowry and domestic violence. It has been claimed in the petition that this will save the lives of innocent men. According to India Human Development Survey, 2005 and National Family Health Survey 2006, REDS-1999, almost all marriages in India are between a boy and a girl and less than 1 percent of marriages end in divorce.
Parents play an important role in choosing a boy or girl for marriage. In more than 90 percent of marriages between 1960 and 2005, parents chose spouses for their sons and daughters. More than 85 percent of women marry outside their residential village or city and 78.3% of marriages take place within the boy-girl’s own district.
No matter how the marriage took place, if it leads to divorce, it should have a happy ending. Atul’s case has sparked a different discussion regarding marriage. If the Constitution advocates social equality then no law should be one-sided.
