Last Updated IST

Former minister B T Lalitha Naik said on Sunday that laws, of late, had become radically biased towards women and that society at large had demonised the role of men.
She was addressing a protest by the Karnataka Rajya Purushara Rakshana Samithi here.

“Under the present laws, men can become easy targets for women with bad intentions. A man can be arrested merely an the allegation of rape or dowry harassment by a woman,” Naik said.

“We demand that lawmakers introduce appropriate checks in the laws so that women lodging frivolous complaints are seriously dealt with,” Naik said.
