"Harassment, abuse and torture, both mental and physical towards married ladies are increasing by day to pressurize them to bring more wealth to the family of the bridegroom. Though so many cases are being registered against husbands and in-laws, there is no change in the attitude of the society towards married women and family members. The attack towards them are of course, for various reasons, making their matrimonial homes as most dangerous place to live…This has to be stopped forever. But, if anticipatory bail is granted to such wrongdoers that will definitely give a 'wrong message' to the society."
