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.
