While the emotional loss is equal for both the partners, it is the partner who has no visible means of supporting oneself, who is going suffer financially as well. Divorce settlement, or alimony, is something that one can look forward to for filling the financial gap created after parting ways with the once-loved one. Moreover, there are chances that even this small grace can come to nought for the lack of proper planning.
If both are physically, mentally fit then no maintenance should be given to either. If anyone of them or both decides to part away then let them go? How this money etc come in between? Law should be amended or judges should look at the problem with different angle.
Infact by bringing law in between we are spoiling the institution of marriage. Women are misusing the special provisions of dowry. They donot want to take care of old inlaws. Is there any law to force them to treat their inlaws prorperily?
One should either follow the norms of society. If he or she goes to Law then law should treat them equally. No special treatment. and no maintenance if both can earn. Yes responsibility of children should be addressed like putting them in boarding schools ( State should help if parents are not financially welloff)with equall right of father and mother to meet them till they turn adult.
yes Husband should also get maintanance from his earning wife if he doesnot have source of income.i appreciate courts verdict to give the maintanance for husband.from many years only women were getting maintanance in divorce case.but now situation is changed. Now many women are earning and are independene from there spouse earning. if you are talking about gender equality then man should also get maintanance in such cases
I just want to tell Work area was different for man and womanPreviously Man earns and woman was taking care of house... It doesnt mean that woman was dependent upon man.One thing House holding itself is very big and responsible job...Why our thinking is like this - Woman is dependent... ? I dont understand. "Gender equality" is good and i respect this ...but man should also do all work at house as woman does... MAN SHOULD ALSO TAKE THAT RESPOSIBILTY....
I wonder...if not able to live together what r u going to do with maintenance or compensation..it is shame to ask for compensation..why the hell to marry then...if u want divorce u have to survive on urself...how can u ask maintenance allowacne to the person with whom u cant live...r u crazy...do u feel comfortable depending on maitenace...i dont think so...if seperate then it is individual life..no one live on another ones support...god bless those who need maitenance.....
In a movie, the male lead makes a comment "I see couples put more effort in getting a divorce rather than solving the differences and getting along together as they were when they married". Couples separating out of disdain shud not even care for any alimony. However, if they separate for other reasons less volatile, alimony can be offered either way. After all, how can one dunk the person he/she loved till a couple of months back & be so cruel.
Its quite strange,funny and suprisingly the EGO of males has disappeared ! Seems all men out there are just waiting for such an opportunity. I think it will encourage quite a lot of men to stay home and just reap the benefits of their wife's earning,,, even after a divorce.
Instead, if the wife is earning and independent she should not be eligible for maintenance as she is independent, else its ok but dont agree for maintenance for husband.
We, the husband and a wife, are very equal carriers of life. Both, live, share, hurt and enjoy so much or more alike. When there is sense of belonging is undertaken by the husband, he is the ultimate and a universe for caring his wife and all his responsibilities. But by anyway, if things remains opposite to his wishes its really a merciless on his part to get him divorced. Life, be it of a man or a woman, is same. Both have natual heart n necessities. If one forgets to care and giving his or her strength to get life going its a part of crime. For, no one can buy a love and his sweet beloved even if he has all money of the world. But when one has love in life, life weaves more than a magic and makes it so beautiful experience to live and reflact our joy. So, if that sense of belonging is broken by any part of the body, its right to get responsible to pay the losses suffered. When, mentally and emotionally they can not be, its a great decision to make other half also feel that she is a equal wheel of vehicle of a happy and beautiful life and marriage. It has material part reflecting emotional responsibilities of a woman as well.
