If alimony is legal, then dowry should also be legal. Men should take at least 4 times their own net worth as a caution money(call it "dowry" or whatever) from bride's father as an insurance of this relationship. 50 % of this money can be paid to woman in case in future she files for divorce and demands alimony, maintenance, etc.

For men marriage is high risk affair.. There is no guarantee that no false case would be lodged in his lifetime by his wife and there is no law to protect or compensate men. Men should not marry till laws are corrected.

Marriage is a great business for Indian Women. Men specially Hindu men should avoid marriage. Please take hefty dowry at the time of marriage and invest it properly. It will be essential in case of divorce settlement.

Y should men pay while she is earning equally, and no dowry taken, men equally suffering and branded divorced

When it comes to anything related to ladies, the justice system treats them like 12 year olds. No accountability needed from their part, Like an overly protected parent. On the other hand gents are treated like deviants from the get go. Shame on the justice system, Even the most draconian systems have some level of fairness. Not in India however.

Dear men, before u pay alimony or any amount of money let me tell u that a pistol costs around 50k in India with bullets in the black market. 🙂

U r gonna spend 14years in jail anyway for fake rape case.

Most important advice for men: Don't do suicide. Because your real family will suffer after your death.

Stay single stay safe you never know when corona will get inflected. If you know what corona in matrimonial disputes

[trstrscit]

This is Indian constitution middle class obeys, pay taxes, get extorted and celebrate Independence and republic day. Even Taliban courts will be better. Sad to say

[Subbu]

It's too bad, no protection for men, in any case he has to shell lakhs

[Subuhi]

Only goes to show that our judicial - legal system is singularly unreasonable, unreliable, plain dicey. One cannot even convict a terrorist easily having records implicating him/ her what to say of matrimonial matters 😂. Moreover the intermediaries in the process namely the lawyers in india are totally an unregulated group of professionals. Unregulated in every sense of the word. Therefore like in possibly in every other brush with the law/ courts in India it is best to sit across and work out a deal, a compromise with the otherside. Even if it appears an unbalanced, inequitous one on the face of it.

Why do we always target west for divorce do you want everyone to be in a constraint relationship with no lone no care no mutual respect if couple wants to separate the what's wrong in it stop feeling proud on your low divorce rate most of the marriages in India are just burden for both male and female

[countryroadrider]

My advice to young men:
1. Don't think marriage is love, nowadays it is only a one sided business where only women benefit from it.
2. Avoid marriage if possible, it doesn't bring you any benefit. It only bring you pain and suffering.
3. By your marriage you put your whole family at risk, mom, dad, sisters, brothers, all of them at risk.
4. The moment you married the whole society will treat you as aliens, no one hear you, listen to you, help you. Even if you die you die alone.
Think twice before you do it, marriage for men, risk is more than reward.
Thank me later.

Ohhh Indian law is death' trap for married man

[zubaazu]

Marriage is a business. Remember a girl will not marry a person who is earning less then her. The big reason is she is making her safety for divorce so she can extort money when needed! Men marry women who is not earning or less earning. So use common sense! Thats y in US many men dont get married! We need to so same😂

Law should be the deserter should pay the other a fair compensation. But in India, laws are made by mad persons . there is no sense of justice for anyone in power

[MumtazRahimvk]

I opened up
Discussed
Paid in lakhs
But now I get vibes he has been teamed up with my husband

[israr_xyz]

In many Islamic countries the girls father ask for a hefty dowry before marriage. I mean more than Hindu men asking for dowry. Watched it in a documentary. But at least its upfront cost and no surprise. That is the best part. But you can't ask for money later nor the men or the women in case of divorce. You pay whatever upfront. I guess its good. Men in other societies get caught up by surprise knowing it was a game played on them. It kills them emotionally and mentally that is not good for society.

Intentionally using complecated words in courts to misguide people just to earn money . England may not use such words . Just for the sake of money this game is going and it will continue till the end of Kaliyugam. This is our fate.
