| Jun 2, 2018 at 10:03 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | As far as I can tell from the article, the HNFH spokesperson is not quoted as attributing all suicides by married men to false Section 498a claims. He’s only quoted as saying that twice as many husbands as wives kill themselves. The implication that all 64,000 suicides are brought on by false Section 498a charges appears to be entirely down to the writer of the article. | |
| Jun 1, 2018 at 22:21 | comment | added | T.E.D. | I'm curious what happens when this claim is attacked from the other angle. How many 498a charges were brought in that year? Were there even 64K of them? | |

"due to false" is opinion-based, both because we don't know that they're false and because we don't know the reason for the suicide.

| Jun 1, 2018 at 13:01 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | They report that suicides of husbands is twice that of wives. The same males/female ratio occurs in the US. | |
| Jun 1, 2018 at 12:56 | comment | added | Avery | I've looked into this in a bit more detail and I don't think an easy answer is obtainable from Internet research, due to cultural differences. A large part of this law seems to deal with demanding a dowry. It also has to do with marriages of convenience among elite classes in India: youthkiawaaz.com/2015/09/i-am-scared-of-women | |

Completed edit.

| Jun 1, 2018 at 12:46 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | I have been editing the question, and when the claim is made in full, it is so ludicrous, I am wondering if there is some misunderstanding here. The claimant is claiming every single death by suicide of a married man is related to false claims from wives? Surely that is self-evidently false? | |

Quoted claim in more detail, with context.
