She has to keep her mouth shut on molestation, harassment, and eve teasing incidents; she hardly goes legal way against the crimes like domestic violence, kidnapping etc. committed by men in Muslim society. This needs very urgent attention of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.
The valley, which is still trying hard to live peacefully is hitting headlines not for terrorist activities but for degrading condition of women, live there. In spite of the fact that the violations of human rights in Kashmir are in direct disregard of the principles of international human rights and humanitarian law, no attention has paid towards the these women who have been victim of such inhuman crimes.
Role of police!
A common complaint often reported against police is that they evade registering cases. It is true that in most of the case Police play the role of villain while registering the cases of rape, molestation dowry deaths and harassment. Sometimes if police has logged FIR due to pressure of people or media against accuse, they hardly investigate the matter seriously.
The numbers of cases of dowry or divorce are increasing. An advocate Mubeeda says that in the valley, normally, matrimonial cases outnumber other cases. Kashmir valley might be getting tourist attractions but People continue to suffer while the much-hyped slogan of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh proclaiming ‘Zero Tolerance’ towards human rights abuse!
