From the day one when the law made 498a, DV, maintenance, divorce and child custody laws only misuse and harass the citizen. change this laws fight and start protesting against this laws and make the NCW activity stop soon for our next generation. They are not doing any kind of improvement to women of the society, just breaking the families.

2. Changes in laws 498a, DV, maintenance, divorce and child custody so that no one can misuse and not use this for breaking the innocent families.
3. Kids should not suffer.
4. Provision for given compliant about the judges, lawyer and police who are help the people to file false cases and misuse them.
5. If any citizen give a complaint against them immediate action should be taken.
