Consummation of Marriage, Not as easy as you think: Analyzing Non-consummation as a ground to annul Marriage
In today’s society you will find many couples desperate to annul (putting an end) their marriage on the basis that it had not been consummated. Britney Spears hit the headlines a few years back for annulling her Vegas wedding on the same grounds. Consummation has long been a crucial part of marriage. In many countries across the globe bedding rituals used to be an important part of the wedding ceremony. The families of newly-married couples would take steps to ensure that the marriage had been consummated. Part of this process was to prove that the bride had been a virgin before the wedding. The bedsheets would be taken away the day after the wedding night, to be examined for traces of blood – the ultimate sign of virginity and its loss. This tradition dates back thousands of years, and was particularly important to royal weddings. What is Consummation Technically, consummation of a marriage requires ‘ordinary and complete’, rather than ‘partial and imperfect’ sexual intercourse. ‘Incapacity’ must be physical or psychological and must be permanent and incurable. The fact that the parties may have had successful intercourse before the marriage is irrelevant if the incapacity existed at the time of the marriage. So by consummation we mean capacity to do sexual intercourse. It has nothing to do with ability to procreate. So Marriage is very well consummated even though the person is Sterile or infertile or the wife has no-uterus. Grounds of Non-Consummation There are two possible situations for non-consummation of marriage: What amounts to Impotency Impotency must exist at the time of consummation of marriage. By impotency we mean practical impossibility of consummation of marriage i.e., inability to perform or permit performance of the complete act of sexual intercourse. Thus partial or imperfect, difficult and painful intercourse amounts to impotency.[iii] However sexual intercourse, which is incomplete occasionally, does not amount to impotency.[iv] Impotency is usually either Physical or mental. The latter includes emotional, psychological or moral repugnance or aversion to the sexual act. If impotency can be cured by medical treatment or surgery it would not amount to impotency unless the person refuses to undergo treatment.[v] As I have already stated that there is difference between impotency and ability to procreate children. Law takes into account only impotency. Nature and Scope of Cruelty While explaining the scope and nature of cruelty, it was observed in Savitri Pandey vs Prem Chandra Pandey[vi], as: Treating the petitioner with cruelty is a ground for divorce under Section 13(1)(ia) of the Hindu Marriage Act. Cruelty has not been defined under the Act but in relation to matrimonial matters it is contemplated as a conduct of such type which endangers the living of the petitioner with the respondent. Cruelty consists of acts which are dangerous to life, limb or health. Cruelty for the purpose of the Act means where one spouse has so treated the other and manifested such feelings towards her or him as to have inflicted bodily injury, or to have caused reasonable apprehension of bodily injury, suffering or to have injured health. Cruelty may be physical or mental. Mental cruelty is the conduct of other spouse which causes mental suffering or fear to the matrimonial life of the other. “Cruelty”, therefore, postulates a treatment of the petitioner with such cruelty as to cause a reasonable apprehension in his or her mind that it would be harmful or injurious for the petitioner to live with the other party. Cruelty, however, has to be distinguished from the ordinary wear and tear of family life. It cannot be decided on the basis of the sensitivity of the petitioner and has to be adjudged on the basis of the course of conduct which would, in general, be dangerous for a spouse to live with the other. In Rita vs Balkishan Nijhawan[vii], Delhi High Court said that a liberal interpretation be given to the term ‘impotence’ under Section 12(1) of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and eventually held that a sexless marriage is physical and mental cruelty and thus, is a valid ground for seeking divorce. Court held that, if either of the parties to a marriage, being of good health and physical capacity, refuses to have sexual intercourse, the same would amount to cruelty entitling the other party to a decree. It does not matter that denial is due to sexual weakness or because of any wilful refusal by spouse. Either way, it will result in frustration and misery to the other spouse. Here, it is not necessary to prove the culpability of the erring spouse to hold him guilty of cruelty. What has to be found in each case is whether the act is such which the complaining partner should not be asked to endure. The court further went to a great extent and even ruled that: The marriage has really been reduced to a shadow and a shell, and the wife has been suffering misery and frustration. It is an unthinkable proposition that the wife is not an active participant in the sexual life and thus the husband’s weakness which denies sexual pleasure to the wife is of no consequence and does not amount to cruelty. In (P. (D) v. P. (J)[viii], it was held that ‘the fact that the wife could not control her psychological inhibition did not in law negative the fact that her conduct in consistently depriving the husband of normal sexual intercourse and the opportunity of becoming a father was unendurable and, as it seriously affected his health, constituted cruelty,’ In White v. White[ix], wife was entitled to decree of dissolution on ground of practice of coitus interrupts by husband to be cruelty under law and undermining her health. Persistent refusal to indulge in sexual intercourse A single act or isolated acts of refusal to indulge intercourse doesn’t amount to cruelty. If the person on most of the occasions is fulfilling his or her marital obligations i.e., Sexual intercourse then it is perfectly okay. In Sheldon v. Sheldon[x], a decree was granted to the wife on the finding that the husband’s persistent refusal of sexual intercourse
What is Cybercrime? Types, Examples, and Prevention
Here are another 9 types of cybercrimes: 1. Cyber Bullying It is also known as online or internet bullying. It includes sending or sharing harmful and humiliating content about someone else which causes embarrassment and can be a reason for the occurrence of psychological problems. It became very common lately, especially among teenagers. 2. Cyber Stalking Cyberstalking can be defined as unwanted persistent content from someone targeting other individuals online with the aim of controlling and intimidating like unwanted continued calls and messages. 3. Software Piracy Software piracy is the illegal use or copy of paid software with violation of copyrights or license restrictions. An example of software piracy is when you download a fresh non-activated copy of windows and use what is known as “Cracks” to obtain a valid license for windows activation. This is considered software piracy. Not only software can be pirated but also music, movies, or pictures. 4. Social Media Frauds The use of social media fake accounts to perform any kind of harmful activities like impersonating other users or sending intimidating or threatening messages. And one of the easiest and most common social media frauds is Email spam. 5. Online Drug Trafficking With the big rise of cryptocurrency technology, it became easy to transfer money in a secured private way and complete drug deals without drawing the attention of law enforcement. This led to a rise in drug marketing on the internet. Illegal drugs such as cocaine, heroin, or marijuana are commonly sold and traded online, especially on what is known as the “Dark Web”. 6. Electronic Money Laundering Also known as transaction laundering. It is based on unknown companies or online business that makes approvable payment methods and credit card transactions but with incomplete or inconsistent payment information for buying unknown products. It is by far one of the most common and easy money laundering methods. 8. Cyber Extortion Cyber extortion is the demand for money by cybercriminals to give back some important data they’ve stolen or stop doing malicious activities such as denial of service attacks. 9. Intellectual-property Infringements It is the violation or breach of any protected intellectual-property rights such as copyrights and industrial design. 9. Online Recruitment Fraud One of the less common cybercrimes that are also growing to become more popular is the fake job opportunities released by fake companies for the purpose of obtaining a financial benefit from applicants or even making use of their personal data. Cyber Crimes Examples – REvil and Kaseya Ransomware REvil is a Russian or Russian-speaking hacking group and it is known as a ransomware-as-a-service operation. The Kaseya incident took place in July – 2021. The incident happened when one of the Kaseya’s company’s products was deploying the famous SODINOKIBI REvil ransomware to endpoints of Kaseya’s customer network that attack surface was over 1000 Kaseya’s customers worldwide. A few hours later REvil took credit for the attack by posting on their Happy Blog website on the dark web and demanded a $70 million ransom to release a public decryptor that they claim can decrypt all the damaged devices. The attack was so impactful that the United States government offered $10 million bounties to anyone that can give any information for arresting REvil members. Source Yaroslav Vasinskyi, a 22 years Ukrainian, was charged with conducting the attack and unleashing the ransomware against Kaseya and other companies. – Stuxnet The Stuxnet incident is a famous incident that happened in 2010. Stuxnet is the name of a computer worm (type of malware) that targets SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems. Stuxnet malware left devastating damage to Iran’s nuclear power program. It was spreading through USB drives and affected mainly Microsoft Windows operating systems. The malware functionality was to search for machines that are working as PLCs (programmable logic controllers) and if it was found the malware updates its code over the internet through the attackers. – Marriott Hotels In November 2018, Marriott hotels group suffered from a massive data breach that affected more than 500 million customers. The compromise happened for the guest reservation database by an unknown party. The information that was leaked contained payment information, mailing addresses, passport numbers, and phone numbers for customers. Marriott Group has immediately conducted incident investigations with a group of security experts plus setting up a website and a call center. They also sent emails to the affected customers and gave them free access to monitoring tools that monitor the internet and give an alert if any evidence of sharing personal information is found. – RockYou Data Breach RockYou is a company that works in the game field and was founded in 2005 by Lance Tokuda and Jia Shen. The company was working well until December 2009 when what is called “the biggest data breach of all time” happened. The data breach exposed and leaked more than 32 million user account information from RockYou database. The company was storing passwords in an unencrypted plain text format which made it easier for the hacker to have access to all passwords stored. The hacker used a very old and popular SQL vulnerability to leak all data from the database. After this major breach, the total set of passwords that were leaked became a very helpful resource in penetration testing as hackers use this wordlist of passwords to test the security and password strength of accounts and products. #cybercrimelawyerindelhi #criminallawyerindelhi #baillawyerindelhi #bailadvocateindelhi #criminallawyerinsupremecourtofindia. #bailcaseslawyerinsupremecourtofindia.
Nata Vivah (Marriage) and Maintenance related issues under Section 125 CrPC
What is Nata Vivah According to this custom, in some tribes the woman (wife) can leave her husband and live with another man. This is called Nata. No formal rituals have to be done in this. There is only mutual consent. This practice is prevalent even today in many tribal communities in Rajasthan. This practice is quite similar to the live-in relationship of the modern society. It is said that Nata Pratha was created to give recognition to widows and abandoned women to lead a social life, which is still believed today. Under this system, no formal marriage ceremony is required to live together. Couple can perform all obligations of husband and wife without entering into wedlock. According to the practice, man has to pay money to live a modern day live-in relationship with a woman of his choice, after the woman’s first husband walks out of the marriage and pass on his wife to other man in return for money. This money, the “bride price” is fixed by members of the community, or middlemen, who may receive a cut for doing so. The sum may range from a few thousand bucks to even a few lakhs depending upon the paying capacity of the person concerned.[i] For ex. If a man wants to live with a woman who is already married than he has to pay some amount of money to the woman’s husband. After satisfied with the amount the husband of the woman releases her and then the lady can live with the other man who paid the price. This is called Nata. The problem that arises in Nata cases is that of Maintenance. Since the woman has left her legally wedded husband and started to live with another man, is she entitled to claim maintenance from him? Introduction-Object and Scope of Section 125 CrPC There are different statutes providing for making an application for grant of maintenance/ interim maintenance, if any person having sufficient means neglects, or refuses to maintain his wife, children, parents. The different enactments provide an independent and distinct remedy framed with a specific object and purpose. Maintenance laws have been enacted as a measure of social justice to provide recourse to dependant wives and children for their financial support, so as to prevent them from falling into destitution and vagrancy. Article 15(3) of the Constitution[ii] of India provides that: “Nothing in this article shall prevent the State from making any special provision for women and children.” Article 15 (3) reinforced by Article 39 of the Constitution of India[iii], which envisages a positive role for the State in fostering change towards the empowerment of women, led to the enactment of various legislations from time to time. Justice Krishna Iyer in his judgment in Captain Ramesh Chander Kaushal v Mrs. Veena Kaushal & Ors[iv]. held that the object of maintenance laws is: “9. This provision is a measure of social justice and specially enacted to protect women and children and falls within the constitutional sweep of Article 15(3) reinforced by Article 39. We have no doubt that sections of statutes calling for construction by courts are not petrified print but vibrant words with social functions to fulfil. The brooding presence of the constitutional empathy for the weaker sections like women and children must inform interpretation if it has to have social relevance. So viewed, it is possible to be selective in picking out that interpretation out of two alternatives which advances the cause- the cause of the derelicts.” The legislations which have been framed on the issue of maintenance are the Special Marriage Act 1954 (“SMA”), Section 125 of the Cr.P.C. 1973; and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (“D.V. Act”) which provide a statutory remedy to women, irrespective of the religious community to which they belong, apart from the personal laws applicable to various religious communities. In Badshah v Urmila Badshah Godse[v], the Supreme Court was considering the interpretation of Section 125 CrPC. The Court held: “13.3. …purposive interpretation needs to be given to the provisions of Section 125 CrPC. While dealing with the application of a destitute wife or hapless children or parents under this provision, the Court is dealing with the marginalised sections of the society. The purpose is to achieve “social justice” which is the constitutional vision, enshrined in the Preamble of the Constitution of India. The Preamble to the Constitution of India clearly signals that we have chosen the democratic path under the rule of law to achieve the goal of securing for all its citizens, justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. It specifically highlights achieving their social justice. Therefore, it becomes the bounden duty of the courts to advance the cause of the social justice. While giving interpretation to a particular provision, the court is supposed to bridge the gap between the law and society.”
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence altered the course of my life in a way that I never possibly would have imagined ten, twenty even forty years ago. As a woman nearly sixty years old still struggling with effects of abuse, particularly chronic, complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); I understand how difficult it is to manage life sometimes even if it means surviving simply moment to moment. Today, I am no longer restrained though by abuse or perpetrators who prey on my vulnerabilities – I learned ways to take back my life, my power and my voice. My choices were not easy and sometimes I felt as if I had no choice at all. It was in those moments that I simply held out for something I couldn’t see or feel yet knew had to be there. Some people might call it hope or faith, others might think of it as support. I slowly held out and began educating myself and cautiously allowed others in who were trying to reach out to me. This COVID-19 pandemic has placed survivors, victims of domestic violence and their children at great risk for many poor outcomes in life if not addressed, recognized, validated and brought into conversations with professionals, advocates and victims and survivors. As stated on the National Coalition for Domestic Violence website (NCADV | National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, n.d.), victims of abuse experience the following: isolation, depression, hopelessness, withdrawal, distancing from family and friends, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and more. These experiences and risks are magnified with COVID-19 upon us and untold numbers of families are clustered in homes together with abusive partners, nowhere to go and no help in sight. Survivors living alone might be feeling effects of PTSD caused by social distancing and stay at home orders recently put into place in their home cities or states. It has been challenging for me, living alone during this time as a survivor to be by myself, away from everyone I know and love. It’s difficult to be alone on any given day for me even when there isn’t a global pandemic happening. So, I think about people who are feeling trapped right now, perhaps who felt like I did some years ago. I put myself in that space and remember what it was like to try not to upset “him” so that he wouldn’t hurt me or my children or even my dog. I remember his smell after he turned into a monster. To this day I can’t stand the smell of dark liquor. For the purpose of this piece of writing, “he” isn’t just any one partner of mine. He is a composite of many. Perhaps you may be familiar with “him”, he might be just like someone you know. I used to predict how my day was going to be in the mornings by what kind of mood he was in when he woke up. My predictions were like clockwork. In recovering from fear, eventually I learned to manage my own emotions instead of adhering to his controlling and abusive behavior. It took a lot of courage and I was scared sometimes, but I found it confused him and he didn’t know what to do with the way I was beginning to set myself free. One day, I was finally able to leave and today I am no longer feeling broken. My process of freedom didn’t happen overnight. My story isn’t unique but my voice is, just like yours… and my soul is free and beautiful. Today I know it always was and it took sifting through so much pain to get here. I loved “him”. Sometimes more than I loved myself. I was always searching for love. In trying to find it – to find him, I found more than I bargained for. I found myself forced to do things no woman should have to do, I woke up from multiple surgeries with injuries caused from abuse, and I suffered broken bones, blackened eyes, bruised organs and other bodily injuries. I also suffered a traumatic brain injury from taking multiple blows to my head. With that came a mental health diagnosis and the stigma right along with it. Stigma and diagnosis do not define me today.Thanks to our partners, you can find ties online to suit every preference and budget, from budget to top-of-the-range super stylish models. #Domesticviolencecaseslawyerindelhi #Divorcecaseslawyerindelhi #Advocatesindelhi

Cyberbullying Laws in India: Insights and Implications
Cyberbullying Laws in India: Insights and Implications Cyberbullying Laws in India: Insights and Implications I. Introduction A. Understanding the Concept of Cyberbullying Like your average neighbourhood bully, but amplified in reach by a thousandfold, cyberbullying is a digital age scourge that’s leaving no corners of the globe untouched. Heck, even emojis have turned villainous in the cyberbullying arena! In the simplest of terms, cyberbullying means using digital communication tools (like social media, mobile apps, emails, and websites) to threaten, harass, or intimidate someone. What’s more, the cyber bullies, hidden comfortably behind their screens, are often hard to identify or penalize. B. The Prevalence and Impact of Cyberbullying in the Indian Context Turning our gaze towards the Indian perspective, the picture is unfortunately not too rosy either. Ah, I wish we were merely discussing spicy food and vibrant festivals! A recent 2021 survey by Microsoft revealed that 29% of Indian respondents experienced cyberbullying, surpassing the global average. It’s evident that these online pests have found fertile ground on our subcontinent, leaving behind a trail of emotional, psychological, and sometimes even physical damage. C. The Importance of Legal Frameworks in Addressing Cyberbullying Consider online laws as the Asgardian hammer, Mjolnir, in our virtual world, providing a potent weapon against this insidious Hydra named cyberbullying. A well-structured legal framework helps recognize these offenses, outline specific punishments, and most importantly, can deter potential cyberbullies. II. Overview of Legislation Pertaining to Cyberbullying in India A. The Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Cyberbullying While ‘cyberbullying’ as a term is on the Rubik’s cube side of legal jargon in India, it’s covered within the broad framework of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). For instance, slandering someone online could give you a ticket under Section 499 of the IPC. It’s kind of a “You can run (online), but you can’t hide,” scenario for those digital tormentors. B. The Information Technology Act, 2000: An Instrument against Cyberbullying Flashing forward from the 19th century IPC, our 21st-century weapon against cybercrimes is the Information Technology (IT) Act. This modern regulation gets down to specifics. As an example, Section 66A (despite its controversial aura) attempts to combat the malicious spreading of information online. C. Other Relevant Laws and Statutory Provisions Step aside IPC and IT Act, other legal provisions also have something to say. The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act 2012, for example, addresses aspects of cyberbullying targeted at children. In some cryptic legal corner, provisions in the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, can also be harnessed. III. Analysis of Specific Cyberbullying Laws in India A. Legal Protections Against Online Harassment and Threats under the IPC As surprising as finding a perfectly circular roti, the IPC does have sections addressing cyberbullying. Fancy an online threat? Say hello to Sections 503 and 506. B. Addressing the Outspread of Obscene or Defamatory Material Online Under the all-encompassing umbrella of the IT Act, spreading obscene, or defamatory content is by no means an innocent deal. With Section 67 and 66E, the IT Act wraps its armament around such transgressions. C. Laws against Online Stalking and Other Intrusive Behaviors Job description of The Information Technology Act, 2000: Turning online stalkers into scared cats since 2000. Section 66E and 66D are those unsung heroes in this regard, making online intruders and deceivers think twice. IV. Critiques and Challenges of the Current Legislative Approach A. Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Current Laws David might not always bring Goliath down. Despite these laws, cyberbullying in India remains rampant. Are we missing a trick here? B. Challenges in Implementing and Enforcing Cyberbullying Laws From accurately identifying digital culprits to proving their guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt, enforcing cyberbullying laws can sometimes feel like fitting a square peg in a round hole. C. Scope for Improvement and Reform Aren’t we all work-in-progress? India’s cyberbullying laws could stand a tweak here, an update there. Heck, let’s get that drawing board out and chalk out a whole new blueprint! V. Comparative Analysis: How does India’s Approach Compare to Other Countries? A. Comparing India’s Cyberbullying Laws with Developed Countries Compared to developed countries like the United States or the United Kingdom, India’s laws lack specificity and are, perhaps, not as comprehensive. It’s kind of like setting an alarm for every hour instead of programming a reminder for that one specific task. B. Lessons from Innovative Approaches in Other Countries From South Korea’s stricter monitoring to New Zealand’s Harmful Digital Communications Act, other nations teach us a trick or two against the online bullies.
