This is great. Congratulations all. One concern I have is that most of the Nepali women who could really benefit from this law have no access to the judiciary at all. For an average woman in an average Nepali village, it costs a lot (in terms of money, other resources, and most of all, male reprehension) to seek justice from a court of law. A vast majority of rural women in Nepal do not feel it in their interest to challenge men. Pretty much because men can crush them into a complete social non-existence. :-( We need to educate both men and women in the villages.
