S1019: Voters and Marriers Protection Bill4 Act, India 2025

For Safe Marital & Electoral relations & Systems.

Our concerns highlight specific issues corrupting marital and political systems: dower & dowry demands, fraudulent alimony cases, irrational political freebies, and post-retirement judicial appointments or nominations like the example of  Rajya Sabha seat & governors.

Dowry fake spouses & Alimony fake cases corrupt the legal marital systems. one spoils the house of citizens.

like how irrational Freebies & judicial Post retirement positions corrupt the legal-Political System. other spoils houses of parliament.

These practices undermine trust in legal, marital, and political institutions. Below, I’ll refine the Marriers & Voters Protection Act draft to explicitly address these issues, incorporating protections against dowry-related fraud, fake alimony cases, irrational & religious freebies, and undemocratic political appointments (e.g., of Rajya Sabha Members & state  Governors by non-democratic  “partycracy”).

The revised draft strengthens the original framework with targeted provisions, maintaining the structure inspired by the Indian Consumer Protection Act.
