Impugned
Provision / other anomaly

Breach of
Section / Article
|
Section 2 (q) of the impugned Act
|
Article 14 of the Constitution of India
|
Section 2 (q) "respondent"
means any adult male person
who is, or has been, in a domestic relationship with the aggrieved person and
against whom the aggrieved person has sought any relief under this Act:
Provided
that an aggrieved wife or female living in a relationship in the nature of
marriage may also file a complaint against the relative of the husband or the
male partner;
Article14: Equality before law
The State shall not deny to
any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within
the territory of India.
The Argument
The definition puts the
“relationship of Marriage” and “relationship in the nature of marriage” in one
bracket. The “relationship in the nature of marriage” is an expression unknown
to our matrimonial jurisprudence; And again, the interpretation of the
expression is left to the whims and fancies of the “victim” of alleged domestic
violence. And, the expression has the potential to subvert the existing healthy
marital life, in case any victim alleges a “relationship in the nature of marriage”.
The Legislature should have furnished a definitive meaning and scope of the
expression “relationship in the nature of marriage”. The legislature has
abdicated its essential legislative function.
