Men's rights activists oppose amendment to marriage law
NAGPUR: Men's rights activists from all across the country are calling on the society to oppose the Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2010. Calling the proposed bill as an anti-male and anti-marriage entity, the men have opposed discussion of the bill in the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament as they feel not enough discussion have been done while formulating the bill. The activists insist that the bill, which gives divorced women an equal stake in the husband's ancestral property, will result in several damaging results, with men being scared of marrying. They also say that it gives the women an unfair advantage. The activists have even declared that not only will they not vote for any member of Parliament who votes in favour of the bill, they would also actively lobby against all such MPs.
"Most men do not marry until they are well settled in life and have a house of their own. For that, they toil day in and day out in order to eke out a living worthy to possess a property. And tomorrow, with the passage of this law, if a man tends to lose his hard-earned property, then men and their families would see no reason for marriage," said city-based men's right activist Rajesh Vakharia. He also said that such laws will only promote the concept of divorce and open the doors of unfair use of laws by women. "Such laws only feed fuel to the fire of gynophobia (fear of women) in the society. There are enough false cases and extortion faced by men under laws regarding domestic violence," said Vakharia. Activists have urged the government to pass the bill only after sufficient debate, discussion and deliberations, and take all stakeholders into confidence. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/Mens-rights-activists-oppose-amendment-to-marriage-law/articleshow/21703825.cms
