I write this to express my apprehensions and queries for proposed amendment to Hindu Marriage Act as approved by Cabinet on 17.5.12, particularly regarding giving property rights to divorced women.
Let us give men of India also their due in this case, so that no gender biased bill is passed. Instead of giving respite to Men in 498A, dowry cases and domestic violence cases, wherever these are wrongfully filed by women, they are giving them the property of man also, even if he is at no fault and righteous to get the divorce, when woman is at fault or where woman herself wants divorce or where both mutually agree to divorce for reasons other than the property or monetary.
My queries are as under –
1. For property acquired by husband before marriage, no contribution is made by the woman, why she should claim that.
2. If woman remarries, will she give back the property of previous husband(s).
3. What about property inherited by the man, means not acquired by him, but is acquired by the father before death or forefathers. Particularly in joint families, property is common.
4. Where court decides that woman is at fault for causing divorce, why man should suffer.
5. Where women start using this as a tool for grabbing the property of men. Get married, take property and leave the man or make his life hell.
6. Why only woman be made owner of property, only because she is woman and never contributed to earn the property, particularly before marriage.
7. Why men should marry after these clauses.
Please help men of this country, otherwise this society will crumble and more suicides and murders will take place with these wrongful rights to women.
