Sept 2015 TEDx still very relevant: "When we are talking about laws, when we are talking about equality, when our Constitution says that nobody should be discriminated..on the basis of...or gender, we have laws where a wife can wife a criminal case of MENTAL or physical cruelty, but a husband can't; we have a laws of domestic violence, where a woman can seek protection, citing physical, mental, emotional, financial, sexual, or VERBAL abuse, but a man can't; we have laws of adultery that IMMUNES a married woman, from any criminal prosecution so a husband cannot do anything in that situation, all that a married man can do to today is file a case for divorce on grounds of cruelty, and even when he does that, no matter how much he is tortured or abused, or he is on the verge of committing suicide, when he does file a case of divorce, he can get several criminal cases on him so he turns from a victim to a perpetrator. We have laws for rape, sexual harassment at the workplace, or just an act that 'insults the dignity of a woman', but these laws do not consider a man as" ever being capable of being a victim. 8:15-9:40
"There's..cases..where if a man breaks up from a relationship, a woman can go ahead and file a case of "rape" on "[false] promise of marriage" whether a promise was made or not made.. but if a woman breaks off from a relationship, a man is expected to just move on.

Another: "India's Sons is a documentary film that traces journey, ordeals and escape of innocent men who were falsely accused of a rape charge in India. It's a first person account of men and families who bore the brunt of being called a rapist and a rapists family, only to be eventually honorably acquitted of the said crime after years of trial, on basis of credible evidence proving beyond doubt that they were falsely accused. The film brings.. facts that are shocking and tales that are moving. The documentary aims to bring to the fore an issue that poses a big threat to sanctity and strength of the rape laws. It makes a case that false rape cases aren't just a threat to men who suffer false accusations but also women who actually suffer trauma of rape..." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPH6DMCSC6Q )
