Abstract

Many laws have been passed in our country to stop the oppression of women and to get them
their rights. One such law is section 498 A. Let us know what is section 498 A and how we
can use it. Let us know that this law was passed in 1983. That was a period when cases of
violence against women and harassing them for dowry were increasing continuously. In such
a situation, this law came into existence in the Indian Penal Code (IPC) after the women's
movement, under which women were given the power to demand dowry by their husbands
and their relatives for cruelty. Section 498-A was introduced in the IPC in the year 1983, to
provide relief from intimidation and intimidation of married women by husband or his
relatives. This section will be imposed for cruelty to a woman by her husband or a relative
of her husband, and if found guilty, there is a provision of imprisonment for a maximum
period of three years and suitable fine for the husband or his relatives. Now if we see that
what is meant by the word "brutalism", then we will find that it can be explained and defined
very broadly, there are many angles to be seen in it, like any woman.
