Here is a case for you to figure out how easily false "Dowry Harassment" complaints are filed in India making innocent Husband and his parents go thru hell of Indian prison...
See these news reports (relevant portions from news reports reproduced alongwith):
Bangalore Mirror: (May 25, 2010) : http://bit.ly/byZMY8
Gagan G Hiremath, 31, an employee of Microsoft India,
. . . . . . .
A Bangalore-based techie has demanded separation from his software engineer- wife less than a year after their marriage. The reason he cites is she was born on a 'moola nakshatra', an inauspicious occasion that endangered his
father's life.
father's life.
. . . . . . .
DEMAND FOR DOWRY
Immediately after the wedding, Sarvamangala's in-laws allegedly began demanding that she bring Rs 50 lakh if she wanted to avert a break-up, though her family had made it clear before the wedding itself that it would not pay any dowry. Still, the family paid Gagan Rs 3 lakh (he had demanded Rs 5 lakh) and 250 gm of gold after their engagement.
Apparently, not happy, Gagan's family even telephoned the girl's parents demanding Rs 50 lakh.

Deccan Herald: (May 25, 2010) : http://www.deccanherald.com/content/71620/software-engineer-jail-torturing-wife.html
The girl’s tight schedule at the workplace and overseas assignments gave her very little time to get to know well her fiancee before marriage.
. . . . . . .
“He started cursing my parents and brothers over marriage arrangements and later, he and his parents, pestered me to get Rs 50 lakh as dowry,”
. . . . . . .
Sarwamangala’s brother, Shivaprabhu Hiremath said, “In order to come out of jail, Gagan has confessed to the court that he is undergoing psychiatric treatment.”

Now, what do these 2 news items tell you???
These news items are contrary to one another on many aspects:
- Will an engineer with Mirosoft, go for marriage (or for that matter demand) for a sum of Rs. 5 lakhs for his marriage? This is, at best, just a few months' salary for him!!
- Was the real reason that wife had pimples?
- OR was it that the wrong info provided by girl for horoscope matching?
- OR, was the husband really a mentally disturbed person?
- What an innocent lady, who let go her husband without any police complaint even after an attempt on her life on Aug 29, 2009... what was she waiting for past 8-9 months??
NOW, this case clearly underlines how SERIOUS (??) media is in reporting the matrimonial issues!!
- Everywhere in media a Husband and his Family members are ASSUMED and PRESUMED to be GUILTY even before any court trial could happen.
- Media BLATANTLY DEFAMES the husband and his family by putting pics of Husband while CONCEALING the identity of the complainant wives at the same time
- Media never try to go beyond creating sensational news to find out the real truth
- Even when a case is sub-judice, Media carries out stories depending on their convenience to report or not report
BUT such is the state of laws in INDIA where IPC 498A for dowry harassment can be filed against husband and his entire family as easily as a person can order for a PIZZA !!!
