No More Domestic Violence

A bill against domestic violence. I get the impression from the article that harassment for dowry is legal as of now, since the bill seeks to 'also' cover 'harassment, by way of unlawful dowry demands made to the woman or her relatives'.

Update: Related question: will there now be more convictions for the people who let their wives and daughter-in-laws get accidentally burnt while cooking and the people who proactively seek to help the same leave this world much before their time is due?

I hesitate to hope for such a thing, Bill or no Bill.
