UI somewhat agree with you. Alimony can be conditional. I read somewhere that it is but given the nature of our society it is easier for a woman to show the loss that she incurred (career-wise) because that is true in a lot of cases.
I can’t say I agree with the leave for the new-wed part. Because it will be women taking this leave or atleast the employer will assume that women will be taking this leave and that might affect her chances of employment.
UI am a woman, and a big time feminist too. I did not mean to make it a men vs women battlefield. My only intention to post this was to understand alimony laws and why they exist in detail.I understand that there is a section of men who have faced unfair rulings because of this law. However, there is a large section of women who give up (give up, not sacrifice as mentioned by someone here) on their careers to take care of their families. Even the one who doesn’t take long breaks from their career to raise a child. If I deliver a child today and take a 5 year gap in my career, I will be starting at this very point ( at best) and my husband will grow in his career in these 5 years. Ofcourse, he would be earning more than me at that point. This in addition to the pay parity that exists in our country.
And I am talking about only urban areas. It’s a different story in rural areas where women are far from being empowered even today.
Like I said in the original post, I just wanted to know if there’s a rational way of bringing more equality assuming there must be lawyers on this sub. The way people are hating women for no reason here ( and well almost everywhere these days) is plain annoying and it makes me angry.
Anyway, learnt my lesson. No more advice seeking on reddit.
