उसने जेल जाकर औरो के लिये नया कानून बनवाया

एक बहुत अच्छी पहल हैं UK कानून मे बदलाव लाने की । यू के मे कानून बनाने वालो ने माना हैं कि कि कानून बराबर नहीं था वहाँ पुरूष और नारी के लिये इस लिये इस पहल के जरिये शुरुवात कि हैं कानून मे सजा देने के अधिकार को दोनों के लिये बराबर करने कि । और इस बदलाव को लाया गया किरनजीत अहलुवालिया कि वजह से । किरनजीत अहलुवालिया डोमेस्टिक वोइलेंस का शिकार थी और उन्होने अपने पति कि ह्त्या की थी । इस जुर्म कि सजा आजीवन कैद थी । पूरी जानकारी नीचे इंग्लिश मे हैं और इस को यहाँ पोस्ट करने का कारण सिर्फ़ इतना हैं ये बदलाव भी एक भारतीय महिला लाई हैं । पढ़ कर लगा कि एक बार precedence सेट हो जायेगा तो इंडिया मे कानून बनाने वाले भी शायद चेत जाए ।

आज कि ये पोस्ट इंग्लिश मे हैं क्योकि सीधा कॉपी पेस्ट किया हैं मेने हिंदुस्तान टाईम्स पेपर से।

The imprisonment of the Indian-origin housewife Kiranjit Ahluwalia who was jailed for life for killing her violent and abusive husband in 1989 by setting his feet on fire after suffering utter degradation from him would not have taken place, if the law now on anvil had been in force then.
Under reforms of laws on murder, women who kill abusive partners could escape conviction for murder if they can prove they lived in “fear of serious violence”.
The overhaul of the homicide laws was announced on Tuesday by the Home Office. A further defence against murder charges which allows people to argue that they were driven to kill by “words and conduct” that left them “seriously wronged” will also be made available to defendants.
But the defence on the plea of being provoked — like husband killing wife he finds in bed with another man — would be scrapped. Such defence is incorporated in the Indian Penal Cod has over the years helped a lot of jealous husbands escape the noose.
Jagmohan Mundra, who made the movie Provoked on the true story of Kiranjit, with Aishwarya Rai’ playing the lead role, while talking to HT said “I think the law of diminished liability is very good. It is victory of what Kiranjit had set out to achieve.” He pointed out that men could get away the murder charge on the plea of “the heat of the moment. But women cannot react immediately. But in cases where they react after sustained violence they are charged with murder. The injustice has been corrected.”
Even a male rape victim who kills his attacker after being taunted over what happened could avoid a murder conviction under reforms now. Similarly, a mother who returns home to find a man raping her daughter and kills the assailant could also be sentenced for manslaughter rather than murder.
