Introduction

False accusations are a grave concern in any legal system, not only because they cause harm to the wrongly accused, but also because they undermine the credibility of real victims. In India, numerous laws exist to protect vulnerable individuals, especially women, from domestic violence, dowry harassment, sexual abuse, and workplace misconduct. While these laws serve a critical purpose in addressing systemic gender-based violence, their misuse has sparked a parallel issue — the victimization of innocent men through false accusations.
