The judgement, if persued intently, clearly states that 'kicking' does not come under the ambit of Section 498A and also unequivocally states that it may invite punishment under some other sections of the law. It is analogous to you blaring your music system not coming under creating nuisance for the whole city but rather only for your neighbourhood. How would Mr. Menon feel if he were booked for creating nuisance for the whole city?
So, it is advisable to first read the judgement and then do your sanctimonious 'judging'
With 498A , the wife and wife's mom create hell in Husbands life and in her in-laws house. With 498A balckmail(threat) to her in-laws house a wife tries to prosper in her family. Will such a wife's family ever prosper ?
We Indian Husbands are getting terrorised with 498A due to power-greedy and wealth greedy wife and wife's mom.
the great indian judiciary with these kind of statements it is just proving itself worst than thought of.....what is wrong with us Indians. Are we trying to prove who is the best of morons?

Please don't go by the stupid article or wat the media shows. Kicking DIL not cruelty only under the Dowry Act...Assault Laws and Domestic Violence Laws are still applicable.

The real morons are the people who created one-sided, feminist laws for the sake of votes and to extort money from innocent husbands. There is no protection for men and husbands in the laws as men have not organised into vote-banks. The supreme court has not said that kicking daughter-in-laws is legal. They have merely said that it cannot come under 498A which is heavily misused. It can come under Dv.

You believed this stupid article and its idiotic author eh? The media is playing games with the public by misinterpretaing the facts. Read section 498A and know how it is misused by women first.

No, it is in the feminazi era where kicking men and falsely implicating them is perfectly fine. Misinterpreting judgements and media rowdyism is the order of the day!The court has not legalised kicking. It has merely said that kicking cannot be an act of cruelty under IPC 498A as it is being misused heavily. Kicking is still a crime under DV act. BTW, there are no laws to protect men from harassment of women. Are we living in the 4-5 century B.C.?
Probably not, but if they do have, and are only sons, the judgement gives their sons and wives leverage to use. However, if they have daughters, probably they are spinsters and do not wish to marry, thanks to their Dads judgement. Or, alternatively, women folk are a beast of burden and hence exploit them. What a shame!

The real beasts of burden are the men who are being bashed up all the time and are left with no protection. IPC 498A is heavily misused and the court is right by stating that kicking cannot be an act of cruelty under 498A as it is related to dowry. Kicking is still a crime under DV act.

I am losing confidance on Judiciary:
1. Kicking DIL is not torture 2. Homosexuality is to be encouraged 3. A central minister threatened me ... after a week .. No no he just talked to me 4. Law college students ruff up a boy in chennai - future lawyers 5. Police objecting to Lawyer thandavas are incited and judge says, Police shud accept full blame. 6. EVMs not hackable - Issue need not be investigated.
I thought Judiciary is our only hope. Now, Gandhi Family saran.
We had Talibani panchyats who hanged young love birds who dares to marry outside their cast or relgion. Now it seems we have talibani courts too. Unfortunately we can't criticise judgements.

Kicking under ANY circumstance cannot be justified. Its the principle of it rather than it being covered by another law! For the supreme court to come out with something like this is a national shame, nothing less. Then again, i suppose it cant be more than the other things going on like molesting women in rickshaw etc

Do you know how IPC 498A is misused by women? Do you know that 98% of cases under 498A are false? That is what the court has said. You cannot misuse IPC 498A which is related to dowry and claim that you were kicked. You can claim that under DV act. BTW, what protection does a husband and his family have if wife and her family kicks or misbehaves? What protection does a husband have if the laws are misused? IT IS A NATIONAL SHAME THAT MISUSE OF LAWS IS BEING JUSTIFIED BY IDIOTS IN OUR SOCIETY.
Leave the poor judges. They are overworked nowadays. Let the kick box trainers too get some bounty by opening training centres for MILs and FILs. Daughter-in-laws shall wait until they become MILs.

why not play football at home...MIL & FIL can kick DIL and in return DIL can kick all of them. As there is no law for D-I-L as of now they should also enjoy the opportunity to return the favor.

The fact is that there are no laws to protect men from kicking by DIL. Society and men like you have contempt for men's rights and raise your head at the slightest provocation of women's rights being offended. The fact is that you are not a neutral person. You are pro-women. Shame, shame.
than to ki ck. Be at her in full public until she is dead or she pledges to be a better DIL. If you know she can't be better, then better to Ki ll her. You will be going to jail anyway under 498A. At least you can live with pride that you ki lled a monster and cleaned up the society.
