I wonder, how a Man would be Man enough, to accept the compensation from his Wife. I would prefer death rather than to feel ashamed of my Manhood, for the rest of my Life. The people who support the decision, i think lack Vision and sensiblity at the first place. The courtroom people have been committing these blunders since a long, and if we do support them like this...Only God can save our Country.
Moreover, it is not about gender equality, it is about moral values. A man and a woman have been given different domains by God and we cannot be equal at every front.
Allahabad Court is absolutely right in its decision for the maintenance allowance for Husbands from the working womens, why not they can pay if they are becoming equal to men in all respects and can expect the same from working men then men too have rights to ask the same from them, then only unnecessarily harassment can be checked from some womens who actually do this .
It reconfirms the status of equality for both men and women. Till now this section was being used by women to extort money from husband. It is also an indication that court has realised that there are certain laws which are biased towards women like 498A ipc.
Now this judgement will give some hope to deprived husbands. I welcome this judgement.
Definately!!! today women and men are equal and evry body has accpected this except women because still they required reservation in que, buses, trains (seprate coach) , parliman. every where there is reservation for women in India. If both are equal then why it is????. i have seen many times in the buses that if some men sits on ladies seat and after some time a lady comes she told the guy "this is ladies seat make it vaccant for me" why???why??? still i think women do not thinks that they are equal to men.
Maintenance should be given to husband/wife and court should watch for one or two years whether the husband/wife is not making misuse of it.
Another thing if one is taking care of children fully then he/she should not give the maintence to the other..because one can (should) easily take care of herself/himself.
Yes. Not only maintenance. Other provisions of the law should also be made equal.
I am from a low middle class family from a remote village, but now settled in well paying MNC job by hard work and lot of sacrifies.
Now marriage has turned into a nightmare. My wife was non cooperative and used to lie a lot, continued friendship with her old friends. She has brought disgrace to me in my community and now staying elsewhere and has continued working.
I can not approach the court for divorce due to fear of me getting into trouble. Her family is demanding Rs 3 Lkhs to give the divorce. Her mother who was working, dominant at their home and her family is threatening me with a police complaint.
Now I see some hope after reading Allahabad court's judgement. Long live Justice D P Singh who gave the verdict and Santosh Kumar Gupta and his lawyer who fought for it.
Kudos to Allahabad High Court Bench. For the first time in recent history a practical approach vis - a - vis gender equality has been adopted. Otherwise, everyone knows the law, sympathy and other things are highly in favour of one particular gender in one way or another in all walks of life. This really needs to be changed and one has to treat the things on its merit and as the case may be.
have you noticed the extra perils the working wives hv to undergo daily? they hv to do all them domestic duties as if cleaning, washing and cooking, collecting fuel etc are their duty for ages. Again, for the same work and better output , they are paid less than the men, for no reason.
I consider it a shame to live on a poor wives money even if i hv to starve.
