Citing that the provisions of the Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2010, are making marriage the ‘property transfer bureau’, members of the Men’s Rights Association (MRA), Pune, which functions as an all-India body, has given a clarion call against the Act.
They have now resolved to not vote for the members of Parliament (MPs) supporting the Bill in the country’s top legislative body for the next general election. The members held a meeting in the city on Thursday.
Looking at the issue as an opportunity to unite, the group has appealed to men to not invest in real estate after this bill is passed, since it has provisions to give
wife the half share of husband’s property, including property acquired before marriage and the property that a man inherits. They claimed marriages will be converted into ‘property transfer bureau’ after this Bill is passed.
The association has called it an anti-men, anti-husband and anti-marriage Bill, which is likely to be debated in the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament.
As part of their campaign against the Bill, the activists have till date met over 25 MPs belonging to various parties to make them aware about the issue.
Talking to Pune Mirror, Atit Rajpara, founder president of MRA-Pune, said, “Despite requests from the men’s groups across the country, the government failed to pay heed.
Not even a single suggestion given by us have been considered. We have done written several times to the MPs, but nothing has happened.”
