While an order for paying maintenance to a husband is the exception, it was the opposite when it comes to a husband's liability to pay maintenance to the wife, the court observed.

"In the case of a wife filing an application for maintenance from the husband, unless he is able to establish that he is permanently disabled from getting any income, he cannot be exonerated from the payment," the court noted.

Insisting that the same principle has to be followed in a case where he is seeking maintenance from the wife, the judgment said a husband seeking maintenance from the wife can be treated only as an exceptional case. In normal circumstances, he has the liability or obligation to maintain the wife and vice versa is only exceptional.

It lays out the sexist double-standard pretty plainly right there.

Great reasoning! Now apply it to both sexes!

I think alimony should be done away for both sexes... It's basically a new form of legal slavery, most of which is perpetuated against men.

Coming from the country where fucking a man against his will isn't rape but having consensual sex under "false promise of marriage" is.

This is my surprise face.
