00:00From the counselling centre to going to the court,
00:03different things in the court, taunts from the society.
00:06Men have to tolerate very little.
00:10Women have to tolerate a lot, sir.
00:30First of all, we should pay attention to the building of family courts.
00:55It is very important to separate it.
00:58Whenever there is a family court,
01:00if small children come with them,
01:03the other criminals who come to the court,
01:06a different mindset is created in the children.
01:10And in the coming time,
01:12there are chances of many problems in that family.
01:16So, if we separate the premises of the family court,
01:20because there is no place to sit,
01:22no place to go to the washroom.
01:24If the children are small,
01:26someone brings a one-year-old,
01:27someone brings a baby,
01:28someone brings a three-year-old,
01:29someone brings a four-year-old.
01:31So, all those facilities are necessary there.
01:34And this is a family court.
01:35If a child sees a criminal or comes in front of the family,
01:38then there are many issues.
01:40Now, one of our senior leaders said
01:43that there was a party here,
01:45that's why so many divorce cases are coming to our country.
01:50In any life, in any family,
01:53there should not be such a painful topic.
01:56Because our culture teaches something else about this country.
01:59We are women living in a country of sati.
02:02Here, women used to be sati.
02:05We lived in such a country.
02:06And our culture also teaches that
02:08till the last moment,
02:10we eat half of the food,
02:12we live in that family,
02:14we live with that life partner.
02:15But in everything,
02:16we should not leave that family.
02:19Our culture teaches us that.
02:20And we do that too.
02:22One person in our country,
02:23such women,
02:24the way they are telling,
02:26it is from the party to whom I support in this parliament house, sir.
02:32But sometimes such things come,
02:34which you cannot digest.
02:36If you say,
02:37they were people of a communist mind,
02:39or they were people of a congress mind,
02:41that's why,
02:42today, divorce has got such a boost.
02:44No, sir.
02:45Our constitution has given us liberty,
02:47for our rights,
02:48for our struggle.
02:49If we can fight,
02:50we are fighting for those rights.
02:52But along with that, sir,
02:53I would like to make a request to the minister.
02:56Sir, the counselling centres that have been made in every district,
02:59before going to court,
03:01the pain that women go through,
03:03no one believes it.
03:05Sir, we say,
03:06we are very strong to speak,
03:07we can fight,
03:08we are fighting with our strength.
03:10But if you talk,
03:11when it comes to divorce,
03:12when it comes to going to court,
03:14when the family leaves you,
03:16when your own mother,
03:17parents,
03:18your own brother,
03:19your own family leaves you,
03:21when it comes to fighting in court,
03:23at that time,
03:24the real pain,
03:25that woman gets to know,
03:27how will I go to court,
03:29who has not even heard the name of court in her dreams,
03:31who has not even heard the name of a counselling centre.
03:33So, for such women,
03:34when they go to counselling,
03:36a lot of NGOs are working.
03:38I am not saying that NGOs are not doing a good job.
03:40Sir, NGOs are doing a good job.
03:42If in their place,
03:43any expert,
03:44advocate,
03:45who has experience,
03:46if they do counselling,
03:47then I feel,
03:48the time that takes 10 years in court,
03:50Sir,
03:51if anyone's marriage breaks,
03:53if there is a divorce,
03:54at that age,
03:55at the age of 30,
03:56and if it takes 10 years in court,
03:58half of his life is gone,
04:00it is very difficult for him to remarry,
04:02to start a new life.
04:04So, for that too,
04:05it is right for us to think,
04:07that the pain they have,
04:08from the counselling centre,
04:09to going to court,
04:11different things in court,
04:12in the society,
04:13in the society,
04:14in the society,
04:15men,
04:16have to bear a lot less.
04:18Women have to bear a lot more, Sir.
04:21If we think about that,
04:23this is not related to this bill,
04:25but I would like, Sir,
04:27that in the counselling centre,
04:28if you have experienced experts,
04:31if you have retired advocates,
04:33then they will be able to give counselling,
04:35in a correct way,
04:37and women will be able to benefit a lot,
04:38for their future, Sir.
04:40This is a very good bill.
04:42It belongs to Nagaland, Himachal Pradesh,
04:45but Sir, yes,
04:46female from whole India,
04:48you can see,
04:49that there should be a lot of discussion on this too,
04:52the problems that come in the lives of women,
04:55whether they are young age,
04:56or middle age,
04:57or cross 50,
04:58we all have to take care of that,
05:01because yes,
05:02women are the power of this India,
05:04and we cannot let women,
05:05become weak like this.
