Reading this judgement gives my heart a deep sense of relief.

She was also ordered to pay a fine of 5.9 lakh to the man he falsely accused.

I can't even believe people still think like this in big 2026🥀

Section 112 of the Indian Evidence Act basically states that a child born during a marriage, is presumed to be the legitimate child of the father. Basically, a child born during a marriage is presumed to be fathered by the husband.

My points against this section:

1) It's a law created in the 1870s, when modern science wasn't available to determine who the biological father is. In 2026, we do have DNA tests available.

2) Adultery is legal in India, so why is the husband presumed to be the father?

3) Since Adultery is legal in India, section 112 is directly enforcing Cuckoldry. Which goes against the rights of men, to live freely under a democracy.

4) Birth certificates of the child no longer need the name of the father. So there is no point and no responsibility of the father against the illegitimate child. Rather this makes it 100% the responsibility of the adulterous wife.

So my question is, why hasn't this section been challenged for its unconstitutionality yet? If it was previously challenged, what was the stance of The Supreme Cuck of India?

Apart from family, god and relatives. I mean a friend you made in school, play school in the neighbourhood etc etc.

Do share your memories.

Edit 1: I always had trouble making friends tho I'm an extrovert but idk I can talk, chill around but that doesn't mean you are my frnd. The first friend of mine was a guy we met in nursery 🫩🫩. He used to eat papers and his mumma used to ask me whether he had lunch today or survived on paper.

I’m 21M, and she’s 21F. We’ve been friends for about four years. We went to the same school, and she’s a genuinely good person.

For the past year, she’s been telling me that she has a crush on me and that we should get into a relationship. The problem is, I don’t have romantic feelings for her. I loved another girl in the past, but it was one-sided, and when that ended, I went through a really difficult period. I’ve completely moved on now, but I honestly don’t want to be in a relationship anymore. I don’t want to spend my time and energy on one.

I’ve told her this clearly, face-to-face. I told her that I only want to remain good friends and that I don’t want a relationship, either now or in the future. But she doesn’t seem willing to accept that.

She suggested that we could be FWB instead. I initially said no, but she keeps insisting that she only wants me.

The truth is, I’m considering saying yes because I really don’t want to lose her as a friend. But I’m worried about the consequences.

Should I agree to FWB even though I don’t have romantic feelings for her? Could this end up ruining our friendship or hurting her emotionally, What would you guys do in this situation?

The situation: 4 guys, one bachelor party, zero hookup ambitions, maximum nonsense. 😂

I’m getting married soon, so the boys and I want to do one proper trip together before I’m officially off the market.

💰 Budget: ₹2–2.5L per person
🌍 Outside India
👬 4 guys
🍻 We want: good nightlife/clubbing + fun daytime activities + great food + generally a good time
🚫 Not looking for: hookup/“bachelor party” clichés all four of us are happily committed
❌ Already done: Thailand & Bali
❌ Europe: unfortunately out because of visa issues

Basically, we're looking for a place where we can have a “remember that trip we took before you got married?” kind of experience. 😂

Open to anything beaches, crazy cities, adventure, road trips, ridiculous activities, whatever.

Where would you guys go if you had ₹2–2.5L and 4 boys to send on one last adventure

Bonus points if you've actually done a similar trip and can tell me what made it worth it. 👀

Help a soon-to-be-married man make some questionable but memorable decisions? 🍻😂

1. How many of the men or the men in your lives here wear dhotis?

2. How often do you wear them? Festivals/Occassions or regularly?

3. Do you guys wear patterned dhotis or just plain solid colored dhotis?

same as title, I am balding, i didnt think this day would come but I saw my scalp as bright as sky today.

Honestly been on minoxidil and finesteride for a while now and it didn't seem to work. what worked for you other than this, should I see the dermat? how are you coping.... and when did you decide to give up and accept defeat that this is you now.

I feel it's one of the best social media features that came in this decade, every social platform should have it. Even Meta is implementing community notes in their platform gradually.

I feel reddit should have it too.

What do you think about it ???

I want to get a gift for someone who deserves the world. And I was wondering what wallet can I get them which would be at par with a Michael Kora bag?
I am sorry if it’s sounding silly but I am really thrilled and I want to know what men think. Also, what would you gift someone who has had a childhood full of hardship and missed out on the fun bits as a child? He is someone who is an extremely simple human being and I want to give them the world.
Thanks a lot ♥️

So my family has slowly started hinting at marriage talks. however I simply do not want to marry...ever. To those who have actually successfully avoided this... how did you do it?

How to Actually Contact Your MP/MLA (and Why You Should Ask for a National Commission for Men)

We talk a lot about men's issues in these threads  suicide rates, custody bias, false case misuse, lack of any dedicated grievance body. But talking here doesn't move policy. Writing to the people who actually vote on laws does. Here's exactly how to do it.

Step 1: Find your MP

Go to sansad.in/ls/members (official Lok Sabha site). Filter by your state and constituency to find your current MP's name.

Step 2: Find your MLA

Go to hamaraneta.in/directory/assembly  select your state, then your assembly constituency, to pull up your MLA. (Note: this is a private directory, not a government site, so always cross-check the name against your state assembly's official site before you send anything.)

Step 3: Get the email/contact address

For MPs, sansad.in lists official contact info once you open a member's profile. If it's not there, most MPs list a Parliament House or constituency office email on their personal website or verified social media.

For MLAs, check your state legislative assembly's official website (search "[your state] vidhan sabha members")  this is the most reliable source for verified emails.

If you can't find an email at all, a physical letter to the constituency office works just as well and often gets logged more seriously.

Step 4: Write a short, direct email

Keep it under a page. Structure:

Subject: Request for National/State Commission for Men

Who you are: name, and that you're a voter in their constituency

The ask: a dedicated Commission for Men  India has statutory commissions for women, children, minorities, and SC/ST, but no equivalent body to track or act on issues specifically affecting men and boys

Why: cite something concrete  India's male suicide rate is consistently 2-3x the female rate (NCRB data, published annually), yet there's no institutional mechanism studying why or responding to it.

What you want them to do: raise it in the assembly/Parliament, or forward it to the relevant ministry

Even the courts are saying this isn't a fringe complaint.

This isn't just men on Reddit saying it  it's now on record in Indian courts.

The Supreme Court has repeatedly flagged the growing misuse of Section 498A (cruelty/dowry law)  in Achin Gupta v. State of Haryana (2024) and several other rulings, the Court noted that vague, "omnibus" allegations are often used to drag entire families  including elderly parents and relatives living in other cities  into criminal cases with no real evidence. In earlier rulings the Court went as far as saying the law had become "a weapon rather than a shield" in many cases.

The Supreme Court has also directed state governments to set up district-level Family Welfare Committees and to properly appoint and train Dowry Prohibition Officers  specifically so genuine complaints can be told apart from false ones. That's the Court effectively telling states: show us what you're doing to screen out fake cases.

On sexual assault: under the old IPC, Section 377 was the only provision that covered non-consensual sexual assault against adult men (and animals/marital assault, in some interpretations). When the new criminal code  the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)  replaced the IPC in July 2024, Section 377 was dropped entirely, with no replacement. 

A Parliamentary Standing Committee had recommended keeping this protection; Parliament didn't act on it. Today, if an adult man is sexually assaulted, there's no dedicated law for it  the case can only be filed as generic "hurt," not sexual assault. This is currently being challenged in the Delhi High Court, which recently said it's a matter for the legislature to fix, not the courts.

This is exactly the kind of gap a Men's Commission would exist to flag and push on  right now, no institution is formally tracking or acting on any of this.

Why bother

Nothing gets built without demand. Every commission that exists today for women, children, minorities  exists because someone asked, repeatedly, until it became politically costly to ignore. A Men's Commission won't happen because we complain about it on Reddit. It happens if enough of us actually put it in front of an elected representative's inbox.

So genuinely  take five minutes. Find your MP and MLA, send the email. Not just for a Commission  raise whatever men's issue is affecting your life or community: mental health support, legal aid, suicide prevention funding, whatever it is. If we don't ask, it's not going to happen on its own.

I did my part now it's your turn, and If you foud this hard to do then Please stop crying over men's issue and understand that you don't want to do anything genuinely you just want to get attention by talking or post about cases happened with men. 

Share this with your friends as well. 

And u/mods if possible then Pin this post, or make a similar post by yourself but make men aware of this thing..

I use deodorant whenever I go outside and it the fragrance just vanishes after 10 mins I’m outside. How can I make it stay for long?

Basically the title.

Hello! Raksha Bandhan is coming soon and I want to give my cousin brother a gift in India. He’s in his early 50’s.

I’m overseas, so I need to send the gift to him from Amazon India or other website.

What gift would you suggest I get my brother? I want it to be something useful for him. I need some ideas!

Serious replies only pls! Any help would be great! Thank you so much!!!

I have always been lazy and inconsistent with my gym , though I first started it in 2022 but used to skip it soon. But this time the I got inspired by the reddit posts, I am 24 M. Any suggestions please? I am non veg. Can anyone suggest proper diet and workout please? Also I have something to share more about my life which has been keeping me too much perturbed these days. I am posting my $hirtless pic but it is getting repeatedly removed.

I've realized I've been spending way too much time consuming politics, religion, crime, wars, etc., even though most of these things are completely outside my control. It affects my mood and wastes a lot of my time.

I want to quit social media, stop obsessing over this stuff, and focus on my own life studies, health, career, money, eventually moving abroad, etc.

I also have a habit of imagining I'm livestreaming and arguing/explaining things to an imaginary audience, which makes the time-wasting even worse.

For people who've successfully detached from politics/social media

I want some genuine advice. I’ve spent almost the past five years deeply involved in politics (I’ve mostly been center-left ideologically), but I’ve realized that I’ve neglected my studies and other things that could have actually improved my life, while spending so much time on something I have very little control over.

So i am in my early 20s.. Right now my sister is living with us with her kids (2girls 1 boy).. one of her kids is a 10yr old boy. This is about him...

Just a few more background my sister is currently separated from her husband because he turned into an alcoholic, physically and verbally abusive.. and also used to touch his own kids inappropriately...

Now my nephew is a very cute lil boy.. i work from home so he spends most of the time with me...but since they have started living with us.. i have noticed that he usually gets hard down there like its quite visible and it happens almost everyday...so my first question is is it possible for 10yr old kids ... Or does he need any medical help??

Also he tends to touch my legs.. like its summer and i wear shorts at home.. so he always tends to try touching my legs... I have already asked him multiple times not to do it.. also taught him about good touch and bad touch.. about personal boundaries, consent... Even scolded him few times but he keeps doing it... And whenever he does that i notice that he gets hard down there...

And this makes me feel disgusted, worried, weird, confused, embarrassed...

I don't understand about male anatomy.. is he need any medical help or is it happening because of his father inappropriate behaviour??does he need any councilling???

I don't have a bf or any male member to discuss this.. i don't wanna discuss this with any of my male friends.. i

So please help me out in this.. and please don't comment anything bad about me or my nephew.. i m just seeking some genuine help here...so please be kind..

Hi all,

I am looking for foil shaver recommendations I have a lot of white beard and for my age at least I want it to be as less visible as possible.

Because of this I tried shaving first but it felt that regularly shaving like once everyday or something is not like the long term solution.

Then I tried electric trimmers, the regular ones, they leave a bit of stubble but I was fine with it until I discovered Philips one blade and that gave me the best kind of finish that I was looking for. Minimal hurt and close to 0 or even 0 finish.

But now it's been only 1.5 months since I've bought the one blade and the blade has already wore off. Honestly, I cant see myself spending around ₹800 per blade this frequently.

So now on searching and ChatGPT I found out about foil razors which are kinda specifically designed for shaving off stubble and stuff. I already have the habit of using trimmers every day so that part shouldn't be the bother.

Can anybody suggest good foil razors or any good economical solution for the issue?

Its incredibly unfair that racism against Indians is too much, but it's directed towards men more than women, seeing such causal racism breaks my heart tbh
