[edit] POV problems and move
This page has Point of View problems. I want to move it to a better title. I suggest Dowry law in India. Objections? Zeimusu | (Talk page) 06:13, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
There have been no objections to this move. I will go ahead and make it.
POv tag entered. This page will need editing to make it more fully cover the topic. Also the external links should be trimmed. To make it less of a web directory.
[edit] 498A misuse content in Dowry Law...is questionable
1. Objection 1 - Moving "Misuse of 498A" to more general Dowry Law page Section 498A is just one of the many dowry laws in India. Section 498A comes under Criminal Code and NOT under Civil Code. Civil code has more dowry laws.. and less stringent ones.. Misuse of 498A deals with just the Misuse aspect Section 498A, and not General Dowry Laws.
So, moving "Misuse of 498A" to a general "Dowry law" page does not make sense. This leads to your and my second objection. "PLEASE move latest Misuse of 498A page back to its original link.
2. Objection 2 - Adding Misuse of 498A under NPOV section Dowry laws in India are pretty vast and 498A is just one section but very stringent one. The Misuse of 498A wiki page provides information from the Misuse perspective. 498A did help lots of women, but it spoiled the lives of many men also. So, this page is meant to provide information, links, support to the victims of misuse of 498A. This page and most of groups mentioned within unequivocally supports equal rights and equal justice.
so... branding the misuse of 498A wiki content disputable is disputable. 498aVictim 14:47, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
- I hope to respond more fully later, but I have little time right now. Please see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not In particular wikipedia is not a soapbox, and wikipedia is not a web directory. An article on the various Dowry Laws in India is a useful article. A page describing the misuse of one of the sections is not a useful wikipedia article. A page ment ot provide information links and support to victims is not a wikipedia article. So, I will not move this article back to it's old name, and I will not remove the ((POV)) tag from it. I hope to make some significant edits to it, to greatly change the current character. Zeimusu | (Talk page) 15:01, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
- I have now removed the web directory and somewhat rewrote it introduction to address the factual points you raise. Please feel free to improve it Zeimusu | (Talk page)
[edit]
- No it is not really disputable. Wikipedia is not a support group. It's a neutral collection of relevant facts within the scope of particular articles. This content is disruptive. --Daydreamer302000 (talk) 09:32, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Cut
Ok I've made a big cut. Feel free to improve and extend, but please try to remain neutral. I'd really appreciate it if you would discuss before reverting. Zeimusu | Talk page 06:07, 2005 August 22 (UTC) 498a is section dealing with dowry and it is very inmportant to know that there are a lot of misuse happening 498a and dowry laws go hand in hand so it does belong to same page
For more information on misuse of 498A see the sites: www.498a.org, www.pariwariksuraksha.org, www.saveindianfamily.org, www.mynation.net
[edit] Lowered the assessment
This was actually a decent little article. I have lowered the assessment. It seems that there is a large chunk of material on the page that basically and argument/discussion of misuse of the laws, rather than the topic itself. This deserves brief mention at best and a reference (perhaps to its own article?). --Daydreamer302000 (talk) 09:32, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- unfortunately since misuse of this law is big topic and lot of material is available on misuse
- I would suggest that folks who have never seen a 498a resist from making changes —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bharati8000 (talk • contribs) 09:30, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

- Sorry Bharati8000 that's not how Wikipedia works. Please feel free to acquaint yourself with wikipedia's site standards and policies--Cailil talk 20:58, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Lopsidedness and poor treatment of the subject
This revision of Dowry: Legislation and status in India, redirected but not merged here, contains several things not here, and even shows by example a better topic-by-topic structure that can be used to make this article less lop-sided in place of the current poor pro and con list structure that it has. Uncle G (talk) 11:01, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
[edit] "Legal terrorism"?
"Legal terrorism" redirects here. Does the phrase "legal terrorism" refer exclusively to Indian dowry law? If not, the redirect makes no sense and should be deleted, it seems to me. (Notice that this article only contains two instances of the phrase, one of which is not really encyclopedic. If the phrase really does have relevance to the article, then there should be at least a sentence or two in the article describing that relevance, with a corresponding citation [e.g. "Misuse of this law has been called 'legal terrorism'."].)
