Don’t think anyone cares or tracks this number, but a lot of make suicides are driven by these kind of cases and emotional abuse by women.

Oh come on. Men are the ones who got in these laws due to domestic abuse by men right? Who else to blame other than men themselves if you think someone is to be blamed
@Ambani007 “Those men are victims because of some things other men did in the past”. Great so just blame the victims.

Given the number of women with fake cases, Indian society is desensitized to DV/498a cases and rarely take them at face value.

Nevertheless, I am pretty sure you are the kind of guy who could never see a woman doing anything wrong.
Is she Deepinder Goyal's 1st wife?
7 lac a month, literally?

Doesn’t it depend on the net worth of the man? What is he is earning 20lacs per month?
