My Questions are about Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2010 which the cabinet approved recently?
1)Is it only applicable for Hindu marriage act (HMA) and special marriage act (SPA) or all mariiages in India?
2a) I think there is clause which says Wife will get a share (50%) in all residential properties of husbandin the event of divorce is it applicable for all marriage acts or only for HMA and SMA?
2b) what is the rationale behind this clause? On the event of marriage a person (husband) is giving right on his biggest asset (in many cases) to another person (wife), Is not this equivalent to dowry from men to women?
2c) alsi I heard that debt of husband wont be considered only asset will be considered for splitting with wife.
Is it true?
2d)I feel that this clause is a dangerous tool in case of motivated women whom can use this aganist their husbands? How men can take a preventive act in such cases?
ex 1) A Motivated women marry a peson for a week and seeking divorce on ground of irretravable Break down. taking his house and money and after she live as she wishes on husbands hard earned money?
ex 2) wife threatens husband saying You help by brother/father in business with your money or I seek divorce in which cause u willl lose more money?
3)I herad Adultery by women is no longer punishable but by men it still punishable . Is it true?
Again what is the motive behind this clause?
4)From when this act is in efffect. Does Lokasabha need to pass this bill or is it already in effect ?
