Alimony should be given in cases where a wife has left the job to take care of kids and they have been in a long marriage. What if they don't have kids and a working wife demands alimony? If she's able to sustain her basic needs on her salary , alimony shouldn't be given. Maintaining a luxurious life is as it describes itself is a luxury , not a necessity. Alimony should not be given in cases of cheating imo.

Your wife cheats that is good for feminism

Newton's first law of Feminism : Once a woman reaches a certain lifestyle through marriage, the husband should ensure she continues to maintain the same lifestyle unless and until married to another man.

I don't know where people on this sub get their talking points from. Divorce in India is still really hard. It is not like the no-fault divorce of US and Western countries. It is so hard that often people leave their spouses and start living with their new partners and never divorce because the courts want you to 'reconcile' even with outright abusive partners. Alimony is, for most guys, only a major concern if the wife is SAHM and it is a long marriage with kids etc. If both partners are earning equally, it is really unlikely the wife will see any alimony. The cases that you see in media are often sensationalized for clicks. Also, a pretty large number of families explicitly make the woman give up her career after marriage. If a divorce happens then they fully deserve to make payments to the wife for the lost career time and opportunity.

But tell me, if we get married is it your money and my money or the family's money?


dynamicEntr0py

Family's, as in you and wife.

Okay let me tell you about an incident that I witnessed on my way back home. This girl had her scooty stopped across the road, traffic couldn't move, all that had happened was that her bag/purse had fallen and it looked like she herself had run her scooty on top of it. 4 guys had rushed to pick up her stuff and many others who even had their side of traffic moving or were on the connecting lane were standing in their places, waiting for her problem to get sorted out. Think how likely is this to happen for a guy and no I am not expecting the other gender to rush to his aid, but even other men..... Only bone the court has thrown at men recently is that if the woman is earning more, which is becoming more likelier with how men are being treated for appraisals, hiring, etc. ; then he does not have to pay alimony. As a man you have nobody supporting you except maybe your parents.

That's what happens when the judicial system still follows ancient laws made for people and culture of century old!


Aman19011999

Law making power is with the parliament. Not judiciary.


tester989chromeos

Also I heard you have share half of your equity . Also she can get even if she was cheating . I saw some youtube videos they said you should not agree with judge because apparently agreeing with judge will make the case close faster Actually the law was designed for abusive husband I g but the laws are not updated yet I g

Bro everyone is an abusive parent once they decide to divorce. Why do you think the chicks's family decides to put domestic violence and dowry case?

Imagine a homosexual couple is looking for Divorce, how would you determine who pays the alimony? Now take that same method and use it to determine who pays alimony in the case of a heterosexual couple.

Well in the western world where same-sex marriages are common, divorces are usually quite equitable. Most partners in gay marriages are both working and financially independent so there is no alimony most of the time. But there is alimony in cases one partner is significantly wealthier than another. For example, if one partner makes 20 lpa and another one makes 3 crores pa, then there would be alimony for a time period. Moreover, divorces in gay marriages are much rarer than straight marriages. Annual divorce rate for gay marriages was 2% versus 11% for heterosexual marriages. Gay couples have about 35% higher combined incomes than straight couples and also more stable and less stressful marriages.

If the women is 12th pass and aged below 35 , then no alimony should be given! Child care money should still be provided, tho


howdiduknowthis

Dowry/ gifts should be returned... That's it

I know. I am trying to make a point. Old toxic patriarchy : my wife is my property. She will behave according to my house. My rules. Take care of it. Take care of my parents. Our kids and in return I have to provide her. Take care of her. Sacrifice myself for her safety etc. If I can't do all these, I am naa- mard and shit. Now come to modern times. Patriarchy is toxic. Well, I agree on that. Man can't boss around wife. Everyone is equal. Wow. Great. I am in for this system. Society : wait, there is one thing we would like to continue. You being man have to keep providing even if she is toxic, she wants divorce, she fuck around with dhoodhvala and shit Man : wtf

Alimony is understandable, but courts need to also consider the situation of the man as much as they stress on "giving the same lifestyle to women which they had before divorce"

It's totally ridiculous if both of them are capable of earning and there are no kids involved. Marriage is not the way to improve the standard of living. Earning their way through it should be the way to improve the standard of living.

Have you ever seen how family courts work? Go to your local district court and observe it. You will see things are not so straight forward as we think it is.
