There should be equilibrium in law and justice and its should not be gender biased.
Today women is claiming ,maintenance whether they have any real problem with their husband or not but they are claiming it as a matter of right and it becomes business now to earn easy money. Marry the rich person , do quarrel with them and then claim maintenance and alimony.
It is a jungle raj and way to become rich on others money.
If husband has duty to maintain her wife then wife has also duty to take care of him and give love and affection. So there should be no maintenance at all for wife's who are just trying to enrich them by using this ANDHA KANOON.
Certain suggestions to preserve families and to save them:
ï‚· No maintenance till guilty is proved and if husband is ready to reconcile and bear all the expenses of wife and children if she re-joins him.
ï‚· No maintenance and alimony in the 2nd marriage if she has got it in the first divorce.
ï‚· No maintenance if she can maintain her or her parents can maintain her and if husband is ready to take her back.
ï‚· Compulsory mediation for avoiding long legal battle.
ï‚· Law should be such that both husband and wife try to reconcile .
ï‚· Law should not be favoring anyone to ensure that marriages are saved.
Domestic violence complaint / fir should be filed within 24 hours of alleged incidence in place of today's situation in which wife and her parents try to black mail the husband and his family to agree to their terms and if they do not agree then they file case even after many years.
The most important thing is to fix time limit for completion of hearing and disposal of case in any court say 6 months only. The cases must be tried on fast track basis. The infrastructure of the legislative system should be strenghened and cases must be disposed off within 6 months.
For filing cases some minimum requirement of proofs etc. must be there and it should not be like this that for any small small issue anybody can go and file the case.
Specially for family matters pre-litigation mediation must be compulsory and the behavior/flexibility of each party in resolving the issue must be recorded and should be base of their case in future (if any).
Amendments must be gender neutral .
