False Dowry Cases Against Husbands and Misuse of the Domestic Violence Act: A Legal Perspective

The legislative intent behind Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (now Section 85/86 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023) and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 ("DV Act") was to safeguard married women from cruelty and domestic abuse.
