Members of the Akhil Bhartiya Patni Atyachar Virodhi Sangh, or All India Union against Harassment by Wives, participate in a rally to celebrate the 12th anniversary of their foundation in Ahmadabad. The union formed twelve years ago to protest against Indian Penal Code’s (IPC) Section 498A, a criminal law to punish dowry offenders, and other divorce laws to provide maintenance to women after divorce. The protesters allege that women misuse these laws for their benefit. Placard depicts husbands being at the receiving end of IPC`s section 498A.
