I will say that not only the maintenance issue, but the other women's laws are extremely unfair and biased against men. Not to forget the inline provisions, designed to torture men, such as husband's conviction on only statement of wife in DV act and non-balaible S498a which many wives use in divorce proceedings only to get the husband arrested. According to law, whether man is at fault or not, he must pay his wife maintenance. Law views a man responsible for his family. But he does not have any rights in marriage according to law. When it comes to legal battle between husband and wife, even the most trivial acts of husband are criminalized, his property is seized and he is humiliated by government machinary in front of his family. Even the trivial issues can send him in jail, while the wife enjoys the show, at the expense of govt. Who says it is man's world?
