Dhaka, Oct 19 (UNI) Dhaka's Cyber ​​Tribunal on Wednesday dismissed the case against Bangladesh Hindu Ain Sanskar Parishad General Secretary Pulak Ghatak for religious insult and defamation as not actionable.
The president of the organization Maina Talukdar and the general secretary Pulak Ghatak called upon the people of all walks of life to work unitedly to resolve the gender discrimination and inconsistencies of Hindu law.
According to The Hindu Married Women's Right to Separate Residence and Maintenance Act, 1946, even if a married man keeps a housekeeper or sex slave in his house, his wife cannot desert or divorce that husband. As a result, married women's lives are completely subordinated to their husbands, from which they are not free.
According to Section 2 (6) of the Act ("if he keeps a concubine in the house or habitually resides with a concubine"), if a woman's husband stays in the same house with a concubine or a concubine, that woman will only have the opportunity to live separately. However, she has to remain single for the rest of her life by maintaining chastity as the wife of that husband. Not only this, various sections of the Hindu Inheritance Act enacted during the British era have deprived the rights of the Rakshits and the unborn children of the Rakshits, which is absolutely injustice to the innocent child.
Keeping sex slaves or guards is against civilization and humanity. Therefore, Bangladesh Hindu Ain Sanskar Parishad feels that the general secretary of the organization did not do any wrong or injustice by criticizing such laws by writing on social media and demanding its change.
Demands are being made on the government to urgently reform Hindu laws to end discrimination and injustice against women and gender-diverse communities and children.
