Tortured by wife another victimized husband committed suicide

He was fighting false case of dowry harassment, and was unable to see his daughter that was intentionally kept apart from him by his torturous wife. His wife had filed a case of Section 498A of IPC against him on 29th March,2006. Rajesh Hasmukh Desai (of Ahmedabad) committed suicide being unable to handle “legal terrorism” and being deprived of his child for a long time. Rajesh’s family is shattered and his father is admitted to a hospital. He is not the only one, but there are hundreds of husbands who gave their lives after realizing that no one will listen to them, no government official, no authority, not even Indian Media who always sympathizes with wife and take side of women, whether they talk true or not, without doing any background checking.

Such husbands can not bear the emotional, mental and social trauma in addition to the financial and other sufferings that they have to undergo through when they are bound to prove themselves innocents in courts where they are charged as criminals by their own wives.

Rajesh Hasmukh Desai was also unfortunate to marry such a woman who became the reason for his committing the suicide at Ahmedabad, Gujarat. He was married for more than 10 years and was around 32 years of young man, the only son of his parents. He hanged himself at his home at Ahmedabad on Sunday night, 19th Nov., just few hours after receiving a phone call on his mobile from his wife when he was with his friends at Barista Coffee Shop.

My tears can not stop coming out while I write this.

May his soul rest in peace. My deepest condolences to his family members.

The whole country became the mere spectator to the tug of war and rounds of news on former Kashmiri militant Mohammad Afzal, who was sentenced to death by India's highest judicial forum, the Supreme Court, for his alleged role as a conspirator in a terrorist attack on India's Parliament House on Dec. 13, 2001. But his execution was indefinitely postponed after his family filed a clemency petition. When a terrorist can get sympathy of human rights activists and political clout then why not the innocent husbands and their family members who have well served this nation.

But, who will save hundreds of husbands from giving death to themselves every year in India, when they commit suicide due to unbearable, non-tolerable and consistent verbal, emotional, financial, mental and social abuse from their wives.

Who will save such husbands? Who will give them clemency?

God forbid, if in future I would be unable to stand against the GREAT TORTURE in Indian courts being an innocent man, and if I decide to end my life, could the greatness of our President or any authority of India save me?

Please let me know.
