NEW DELHI, INDIA, August 15, 2010:
The Supreme Court on Friday asked Parliament to revisit the provision relating to 
cruelty and dowry harassment, pointing out that large number of frivolous 
complaints are filed and courts are flooded with such matrimonial cases. 

Writing the judgment, Justice Bhandari said "The criminal trials lead to 
immense sufferings for all concerned. Even ultimate acquittal in the trial 
may also not be able to wipe out the deep scars of suffering of ignominy. 
Unfortunately a large number of these complaints have not only flooded 
the courts but also have led to enormous social unrest affecting peace,
 harmony and happiness of the society." 

On the increasing number of matrimonial litigations in the country, 
it said "All the courts in our country including this court are flooded with
 matrimonial cases. This clearly demonstrates discontent and unrest 
in the family life of a large number of people of the society." 

The Judges said "It is a matter of common experience that most 
of these complaints are filed in the heat of the moment over trivial issues 
without proper deliberations. We come across a large number of such complaints 
which are not even bona fide and are filed with oblique motive. At the same time, 
rapid increase in the number of genuine cases of dowry 
harassment are also a matter of serious concern." 

India does not have a unified civil code. Civil laws 
are different according to religious affiliation.
