In the
changing socio-economic environment wherein education and affluence have become
the hallmark of status in society, women too desire to step forward and work.
This desire is pursuer a career and to assert themselves, sometime leads to
understandable differences in husband-wife relationship. These differences may
even lead to disharmony at home. While a man may have his point of view,
invariably the main sufferer is the woman. Moreover woman today no longer want
to suffer silently. They know their rights and demand justice.

Yet many cases go unnoticed and only a miniscule
number may be coming forward to seek justice/redress.

bridge the gap and about greater understanding and harmony amongst the Army

Dowry.
Dowry is still considered a basic right by many communities. Most educated men
still demand dowry, buckling under the pressure from their family member. For
women, the inability to leave up the incessant demands of in=laws is major
cause of marital discord.

Torture/Hrrrassment
The unnecessary Saas-Bahu debacle still continues despite increased level of
education and awareness. Psychological awakening adjustment is missing and
needs to be addressed.

Plural Marriage.
Since the soldier has a migratory job, most of the time he is compelled to stay
away from his family. This can lead to a feeling of insecurity, paranoia and
frustration. Stray cases of plural marriage also occur. In most cases the
sufferer is the woman. Slow judicial process adds to their woes.

Economic Factor .
Often a husband may not send any money to his wife or in good faith may send
all the money to his parents. In either case the woman suffers the
tribulations.
