Legal experts & practitioners urge critics to look at ecosystem of a marriage, marital laws, & various stakeholders involved—police, mediators, judiciary—instead of fixing blame on women.
In FY 2025-26, AoN for 55 proposals amounting to Rs 6.73 lakh cr has been accorded by DAC. Both the quantum of AoN given and capital contracts signed, so far, have been the highest in any FY.
This article is too complex to understand just like a legal case, it needs decluttering. The major problem is the broken legal system which LIVES OFF from the problems of society. The more the problems and legal cases, the richer the legal system gets. So they want the legal cases to continue so that they can loot the weak. As for Atul Subhash case, it seems that the husband demanded more sex from the wife which she somehow disliked and hence she resorted to keeping herself unclean. The husband should take the cue and adjust. The husband didn’t learn, or probably he assumed it his right. In any case he was wrong. A mere counselling from either of the parents should have sorted it out. The step of mistake was by the wife when she took money from her husband for her brother. When the marriage could not go on, it would have been a simple divorce case. That’s where the legal system FAILED, obviously for its selfish reason. The judge in this case is the main culprit. I don’t understand why was she not removed from her post and arrested?
Men who demand dowry should marry into the womens family rather than vice versa then there would be no meed for women to demand alimony. Change the cultural norms but every man will oppose it because they know women have to sacrifice much more in terms of lost opportunities in the carrer space and adjustments in emotional space than men.
There are women who misuse laws but 95% of marriages still breakdown because men misplace their priorities. They keep job, money making or seeking pleasure as higher priority items over ensuring family is a peaceful and virtuous place for everyone.
Courts aren’t doing anything. They are settling frivolous amounts in favour of women. People have to sell houses, lands and take loans to pay alimony. How is this justified? If dowry is wrong, how is alimony right?
Apoorva Mandhani has always been a weird combination of woke activism and pseudo-feminism. Add to it a natural flair for narrative setting and a commitment to the propagation of Left-liberal-secular propaganda. And you get good old-fashioned NDTV style journalism.
Would not be surprised if Ms. Mandhani goes on to attend Columbia (or any other hallowed Western mass communication institution) on a scholarship. Her dedication to the Left-liberal-secular cause has been nothing short of “exemplary”. The least the Left-liberal-secular cabal can do is to help her further her career through letters of recommendation for admission and scholarships at prestigious Western universities. Foot soldiers of the propaganda machinery must be amply rewarded for their loyalty.
Alimony & maintenance is a right of every married woman as she is the one who sacrifices everything & enters the unknown territory of her husband & in-laws.
I feel men need to be sensitised on this issue of gender justice & not make fun of alimony or maintenance.
Even crores of divorce settlement cant bring back the sacrificed dreams of the women who later face subjugation & ill-reatment. Just hope that existing norms will be made more stringent as this has caused deterrence in the minds of men & his family members. Good to see people talking about this.
If marital life is criminalized, let it be gender neutral. Women who inflict violence or cruelty and harass for money and property should also be prosecution by the same laws .
Such BS propagandist crap. Just rename it as Indira Jaising’s defence of her agenda and income sources! And this coming from Apoorva, who’s anyways dyed-in-the-wool woke liberal left feminazi (With a track record of ignoring, and downplaying men’s side of such stories, since years) to begin with. Where was the other side equivalent of Indira Jaising? Deepika Narayan? Amish Aggarwala? Just another propaganda piece. Perhaps, the issue was, expecting fairness and neutrality from you in the first place. Disappointing, disgusting

People should just stop getting married. Period
Every word of this article is sheer nonsense. Like alimony is the right of every married woman, dowry is the right of every married man. Cheers!
