Yes toady women are provided with many law, so that men will respect her but many of the laws are misused by women it self. We see daily that lots fake rape cases filed, fake molestation cases filed. There should be equal punishment to those who are misusing laws. Though some cases are right and quick action is taken against the culprits.
Frankly speaking, these laws which are built for women promote discrimination and depict that females are not very strong thereby, deterioting the morale. Also when such laws are made so as to protect women they are not implemented correctly leading to disorientation in the society.
We have an assumption that women are favoured whereas the real case is always different. No one who is innocent and needy regardless of the gender is helped rather, the ones who use power make use of the laws for their benefit.

Women are no more weaker section.. Now more and more are proving this fact. Chanda Kochhar MD, ICICI bank is just an example. Because of the man oriented society they are not conspicuously visible. But much has to be done. And the present woman protecting laws are just an eyewash laws.
Neha, these laws are indeed needed even today women have become more educated and emancipated. Yet, it is a fact that most women are not aware of these laws and hence they need to be made a part of the basic education for the girls. Although even though women are aware of these laws, and in any such eventuality as she may need to take help in accordance with them, she hardly gets support and the legal system in India is such that it is not really a job for a single woman to handle. Yet awareness is must and with awareness, there does comes a difference/.

That too and also misplaced notions of family honour and prestige that would supposedly be damaged if the woman seeks legal help!

True. Mere laws would not help. Both men and women must come away from their obsolete societal values and adjust to the ever changing times.
More than laws we need men who understand humanity, men who look at women as equals and not eye candy to be exploited. We need a change, a huge change in the way they perceive women and interact with them. We need a morally responsible society which values and respects women for who they are.
That does not mean we don't need the laws.. what I mean to say is that if people change and act responsibly we don't need laws to keep us in check.

Exactly ! no matter how many laws we may have, nothing works unless you have a mature and humane outlook from everyone , not just men. Because I have seen women of the house encouraging men to beat up their wives and daughters and hide facts when , men in their house go around abusing women. The fault lies with both men and women in making our society double faced and unable to come to terms with the fact that men and women are equal and both have the capacity to excel in any field. We need to have a change of attitude which has to take place at home, school and in public places !
Male dominant society? try it in North India especially in Punjab, Hariyana and parts of Western UP and see what happens. The woman knows her rights but the only problem is being physically weaker she has to back out at times otherwise women are leading in every field or doing better compared to men.
There is a need to change the mentality of our society, and women should be treated equally as men. Women are presented as item by our media and advertising agencies. Ferfume or soaps ads show that by using these products you can attract beautiful ladies. We should change this type of mentality.
Making so many laws for women may help them to some extent, but there are more chances of misusing the laws.
It is not only media that is responsible or the pathetic conditions of women today. This attitude towards women is there since times unknown. We have society that is an epitome of hypocrisy. On one side we depict as incarnation of Shakti and on the other side we use her an Abala, meaning, helpless and without energy.
With this attitude, it is not possible to see a change in the attitude of men in the near future.
