Here is what a famous feminist Dona Fernandes, who is sister-in-law of former defense minister George Fernandes says:

"Today's empowered women are refusing to follow the traditional diktats of Indian marriages. Marriage is the biggest form of displacement for any woman as she has to shift from her home (natural habitat) to her husband's home.

"It is the wife who is supposed to adjust. But today's financially strong women are not ready to take undue pressure on their individual existence and thus marital discords are bound to increase," said Fernandes.

Hmmm....that's interesting. We have to completely agree with Ms.Fernandes that today's women are empowered economically, legally and also sexually. In fact, married women are approaching SIFF to save their marriages being broken by divorced "sexually and economically empowered" women.

One also has to wonder, why the econonomically and sexually empowered women without any regard to traditional responsibilities be given maintenance or alimony by husbands?One of the ways to rein in these sexually empowered women is to deny them alimony and maintenance by courts. That way, the chances of these women breaking marriages of other women by seeking sex from married men will reduce.

Why the judges in the courts and the Government do not free men from traditional responsibilities just the way they are working to free up women from all traditional responsibilities? If traditional responsibilities of marriage have to be followed, then both men and women have to follow it or no one follows it. There can not be double standards here.

The arguments of radical feminists are full of hypocrisy and double standards. All these economically and sexually empowered highly educated women are queuing in courts asking for maintance. Courts must deny alimony or maintenance to all economically and sexually empowered women with education of graduation or above, if there are no children in the marriage.

Let there be equality. Let both men and women work. Let both women and men get out of their traditional responsibilities. Men must not be expected by society to protect and provide for women, just the way society is made to overlook the traditional responsibilities of men.

As this feminist says,"Marriage is the biggest form of displacement for any woman as she has to shift from her home (natural habitat) to her husband's home."

So, if this displacement is a discrimination, then lets eliminate this discrimination of women as well. It is time that educated, economically empowered women must be given no maintenance, no alimony orders by courts during divorce and they must be told to return to their natal home (natural habitate) in stead of trying to grab husband's property and demanding a right to residence.

  I do agree that we should have a law where if a women is earning and is qualified should not be
  allowed to ask for alimony. The LAW should remind her that she is not a dependent women as she earns
  enough to satisfy her needs. Morever this women who demand money by registering a case, after
  getting married are no worse than prostitutes. Atleast prostitutes no that they are selling
  themselves to others, but a women selling herself(asking alimony) to her husband is ridiculous. We
  should ask the creators of this LAW to say "NO ALIMONY" to women who are not dependent on
  their husbands by any means. Also the law of divorce should not be biased, like the one we have now.
  We should go against it and get it changed.

  To all women abusing the law on maintenance:
  
  
  
  All this talk of man paying maintenance to wife is ludicrous, abominable and condemnable in the
  strongest of terms. Woman cannot stop boasting of striving to achieve equality with men in all
  spheres of life, but when it comes to easy money in terms of maintenance, they are willing to fight
  tooth and nail and employ every tactic available.
  
  
  
  For a moment, do these greedy women even realize the value of money! Well, they definitely know the
  purchasing power which makes them to file false complaints and cases against husbands on the pretext
  of hara**ment. It makes one wonder did they marry for a lifelong companion in the form of a
  trustworthy, loving, caring husband or for money. It makes one wonder if they married to build a
  house or to break a house.
  
  If they had just enough morality, they would not be making highly despicable allegations on their
  husbands, but try to build bridges. It all boils down to the intention. What is the intention, to
  run the marital life or ruin the marital life! For the same of upholding the highly revered
  tradition of marriage, please do not make a mockery of the institution of marriage. Have the moral
  fortitude to own up your shortcomings, rather than take the clutches of law for self-aggrandisement.

  Why we wait for someone that will come and do something for us, my idea is that ,we have to raise
  fund and print one magazine(like India today etc..) and speared awareness and raise voice against
  this bull sit law in all over India (magazine in local and Hindi language) and create one company
  under the siff and make a partner to all siff members. approx we are 10,000 persons , if every
  member invest Rs. 1000/- or Rs. 2000/ , it would be 1 caror or 2 caror and we can start magine and
  earn money to fight this law .If we all are ready so we have to take meeting our city siff head & go
  ahead.

  getting divorce namely one sided is difficult for husbands what is the damn need to give alimony to
  educationally and socially well powered wifes.
  this is like the trouble continues even after getting divorce after a long time.
  all hara**ed husbands in save indian family foundation to unite to motivate the damn government to
  amend family laws with bad loopholes.
  to prevent suicides by innocent men laws should be amended namely all these family and divorce dowry
  and domestic violence laws

  Yes dear women don’t become prostitute or servant for your husband. Request all women to charge
  money for every activity they do for their Husbands and his relative. Housekeeping is also
  profession. Home making is also a productive activity. If your husband will employee a housekeeper
  he will pay him salary. Washing, cleaning, cooking, baby sitting … and all the other work you do
  for him just charge money from husband so that once he gives divorce, you have enough bank balance
  that you don’t need to beg money from him.

  Vijay Mittal,
  
  Also request such women to stop being prostitutes by marrying for money.
  
  And stop blaming men for breaking of marriages. More than 60% divorces in India are filed by women.
  It is women are hell bent in breaking family system as they want "lifestyle", unpaid
  bodyguard and a slave in their husbands.
  
  What does women want to be self reliant? Have not they got hands, legs, eyes and ears? Have not they
  got education?
  
  Any woman who is a graduate must get nothing. Is she selling virginity that she has is to be given
  30k or 50k per month?
  
  No where in the world women get alimony or maintenance when marriage is short lived. Man must pay
  for children only where there is shared parenting. If children are poisoned against the man, why
  should he pay for feeding the enemies?

  The man who can not keep the commitment of marriage. The man who can easily breach the trust of
  women. The Man who gives more importance to money to wife and children? How can you expect such man
  to pay you alimony or maintenance?
  
  
  
  I request all women to rather than begging money from such Man become “self reliant.” and live with
  Dignity.

  the scene is not same now.
  the economically and mentally new women (if you see a bigger picture) not only get displaced but the
  sooner or later the husband has to also displace from his native place in search of good job and
  living. What I mean to say here is that not only women has to get displaced, even the men has to get
  displaced.I hope I am clear what I am putting forward.
