If a woman wants to go on leave, she should take unpaid vacation. I wonder why the company has to bear the cost? If you care for your family, then you got to do it!

This message was for this post There is a law in India for manadatory 3 months maternity leave. No company worth its salt can do this stupidity. I am sure Rediff needs better researchers.
Read this for better understanding
Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 says that Google it to read the details. I hope Rediff is better informed next time. I am not sure why this message was removed for abuse alert

The law has been made to remind males that earlier job rules were drafted by some stupid males. It is high time to recognize that rules have to be made by also taking females in mind. We males see the world from our own sweet eyes and do not want to share it with females. It is NOT normal not to have maternity leave since males do not conceive. :-)

In that case, to keep it fair, housewives who get pregnant should also get paid for 3 months? :-) Who will pay? Maybe the government should pay.

It is a choice by the female to work or not to work. If they work they get paid by the employer. The essense of law is not to discriminate a female on some thing that is her right. BTW there is a law by Indian government to provide the upkeep of all pregnant females for free in Government Hospitals. This is under a WHO program.

the law is there coz of folks like you, who question every little concession given to females in our society which is not known for gender equality. You know what if more females don't work our society might collapse because of all the fighting between wife and husband's parents lol. If there is an extended family I find houses where ladies work to be more stable than in which ladies dont work and invariably get into fights with husbands parents.
