A News in Times of India Ahmedabad edition -(July 6-2014)
" When it came to light that harassment didn't take place . we urged the court to allow us instead to impose the legal section for molestation "- Moin Shaikh, PI Police station. News report says.
Marriage is a legal and social institution and it is acknowledged as a human right by the
International Conventions .
Legal validity of Marriage and live in relations are also acknowledged by the Supreme Court also
(Lata Singh V Uttar Pradesh ,AIR 2006 SC 2522)
Proposing a woman of marriageable age is not a harassment or a molestation .
Arrest and criminal prosecution are the criminal wastage of time and resources .
Law should be more clarified and police personal should get proper training .
The supreme court intervention is also needed in the sex related law also like the dowry related guidelines regarding the arrest .
Mere allegation and routine arrest is a common way in this matter also.
Every law has a social purpose . Senseless application of the law is very dangerous to society at large.
