EP-248 | History Repeats: Atul Subhash 2.0? A Wake-Up Call for Everyone | Abhijit, Anil, Priya

The suicide of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash has brought the spotlight onto gender-biased laws in India. Why did suicide become the only option for Atul Subhash? Who is responsible for his death— the system, the judiciary, or the police? His tragic death has sparked a demand for gender-neutral laws in India. In an episode of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, Priya Jain, a lawyer and co-founder of Finology Legal, discusses the legal challenges and how some sections of the law are not gender-neutral. Anil Murty, co-founder of the Save Indian Family Foundation, points out that Atul Subhash is not an isolated case. There are many others who face similar outcomes, highlighting a larger problem in India. Abhijit Iyer Mitra, senior fellow at the Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies, shares his perspective on how these laws are shaping India’s story. #anipodcastwithsmitaprakash #atulsubhashcase #menrights #indianlaw Timestamps 00:00 - Coming Up 01:39 - Introduction 03:40 - The Atul Subhash Case 10:31 - Men's Rights and Media Trials 18:10 - What Led Atul to Die by Suicide? 26:25 - Who Is Responsible for Atul's Death? 28:41 - Section 498A and Its Misuse 33:38 - The Indian Judiciary and Judges 36:30 - Marriage as an Institution 41:11 - Prenuptial Agreements Before Marriage 43:36 - Forced Marriages in Bihar 46:29 - UP Officer Booked for 'Exploiting' IIT Kanpur Student 47:55 - The Police's Role in Forced Marriages 52:00 - The Role of Marriage Mediators in Settling Divorce Disputes 56:06 - The Need for Gender-Neutral Laws 01:00:22 - Kids' Role in Divorce Settlements 01:03:05 - Understanding Perjury in Divorce Cases 01:08:16 - Karnataka's Progressive Judgments 01:10:20 - Legal Pros and Cons of Marriage 01:15:11 - Gay Relationships 01:18:13 - The Role of Save Indian Family Foundation 01:24:25 - Arnesh Kumar v.
