Supreme Court Dismisses Pleas Against Dowry Act and Laws Targeting Men on February 3, 2025

The Supreme Court has dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the constitutionality of laws perceived to target men, including provisions of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The court stated that such issues should be raised before Parliament. Additionally, the Supreme Court rejected a plea against the misuse of women-centric laws, including those addressing dowry harassment and domestic violence. In a separate ruling, the court also dismissed an appeal concerning the Karnataka High Court's decision to quash a First Information Report (FIR) against Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and others related to a poll bond conspiracy.
