'Delete unless significantly wikified. There probably are abuses of the law and there evidently is a men's rights movement against them, but there is just too much questionable detail, POV language, sources that need better identification and verification, etc. Perhaps it needs to be merged as a section in some larger men's rights article.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Bengal is not an appropriate geographical territory to use as the scope of such an article for anything post-1947, and it appears that all of the content that is actually about men's rights rather than women's rights is about recent developments. Maybe some of the content could be merged to an article covering men's rights in Bangladesh, West Bengal or India, but this should not remain as an article.

Delete (or possibly Merge a very small portion to the general Men's right movement article). The article has a lot of opinionated claims, like "Bengal is a hot bed of feminism, fanned by marxists" etc. (paraphrasing), but it actually has little adequately referenced stuff about a men's right movement there. An organization named Hridaya is mentioned, and that organization is mentioned in passing in the reference, but one mention in passing in one article is too little to pass WP:GNG. As the organization's name is so generic it's difficult to google it to see if there are more mentions (and I can only google English language articles), but the whole article with lot of refs, but not about the stated topic - men's movement - indicates to me that this isn't a notable organization. Associated blog "Save Bengali Family" and and homesite for Amartya Talukdar also gives the impression of being a small, private, non-notable effort.

Delete or Merge. Most of the content of this article could be merged with Men's rights movement in India since most of it concerns criticism of Indian laws. Theoretically a separate article could be created for Men's rights movement in Bangladesh, but I don't see enough material for such an article currently.
