It seems highly unlikely. The person making the claim claims there are about 64,000 suicides every year, "***due to alleged misuse of section 498a of IPC against them.***" He then goes on to quote the national statistics, showing that there were a grand total of 64,000 suicides by married men in 2012 (along with 32,000 by married women). This would mean that each and every suicide by married men were because of this, and that there wasn't a single married man who committed suicide for any other reason, at all. So, 32,000 married women found reason enough to commit suicide not related to false charges, but not a single man did? The person making the claim also offers no validation for the claim that they all had 498a charges against them. Wikipedia has a page about suicide in India. In it, it has a list of reasons for suicides in 2014, taken from government statistics. Even if we assume that all the women and all the non-married people were killing themselves for reason not related to marriage, and attribute all of the general "Other" and "Other Family Problem," and unaccounted-for suicides (no reason given/uncategorized = 27,000 or so) and every other category that might, in our wildest imaginings to fall into that category, there is not enough statistical room to support this claim.
