If you are against Dowry, why aren't you against Alimony ? or are you ?
It's literally the same thing.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑"Our daughter was a topper in her class in school and earns 4 LPA in a reputed MNC. We are seeking grooms from IIT/IIM only. We are against dowry.
Salary expectation: 50 LPA"
It all starts here my friend.
A man can claim alimony as well. Take your chauvinism elsewhere.
where shall I take it, please help

I am sorry if you have faced adverse circumstances. But alimony makes a lot of sense when: Educated girls earning jobs are married off early in their lives to ‘good families’ who then either explicitly or inadvertently have them quit their careers/forego their independent source of income to support their son/build their families, and then 5/10 years down the line find themselves divorced /abused and without a career which could have been all because they got married and had to take care of their in laws homes. And add children to the mix, and it is horrible! Bad case scenario:
Evil hags doing this for vengeance and prove themselves superior.
A law in itself cant be good or bad, the context defines it, thats why there are so many ‘judges’ I have unfortunately been privy to both types of scenarios from very close quarters in my personal life.
Well said. Makes a lot of sense
First genuine perspective from the opposite clan 👍
Not same but yea
Think it is same:
Dowry : What groom asks from bride for her maintenance
Alimony : What bride asks from groom for her maintenance.
Correct??
Dowry is more like what husband asks for improving his and his family's comfort and social stature. Or maybe ask the moms and dads to be good in laws and let the girl continue work so that she can maintain herself.
Not to bash anyone. I know a female colleague who's husband is super rich. He didn't have any generational wealth but the money he has is something he built from his own business and extreme hardwork (as said by the wife herself).
They both have a good marriage but once in office I noticed the wife talking to her coworkers. She mentioned that she loves being independent (which she is) and adds on in a sarcastic way saying "If I get a divorce and get an alimony I could be even more independent". She laughed after saying this but I could sense the crowd getting uncomfortable on that comment.
My point is, in both dowry and alimony the no. of people misusing/abusing the law is greater than the ones who use it truthfully. Hence the problem.
The post writer seems to be twisted in his head to say they are even the same thing. Did the school final exams with comprehension skills get removed while I was sleeping ?
koi point, koi logic hai toh batao
ye faltu kya gyaan mat chodo
please learn basic discussion/communication skills
Gyaan toh aap de rahe ho. Not just useless gyaan, but toxic gyaan. I have given reasoning in the next response. If comprehension is intact, pls do respond logically, rather than by ranting. Thanks
Girl have the upper hand in this case also they offer shop in regular Indian setup.
Every independent woman becomes an abala naari at the divorce court.
Thats probably because non independent women don't have the means or "will power" to even reach divorce court.
My jhadu wali didi is seperated from her husband no divorce no paperwork, she's working just for survival because the law can't even reach efficiently to this segment of society.
Life is unfair, we've to deal with it.
