Ha… know your duties man! tells the Delhi HC. Only problem is that here the man is forced to go to jail if unable to buy separate house for wife, but not clear if there was any obligation put on wife or not! She will get a separate house to live separately from in-laws, but what does husband get in return? Any peace of mind? Not possible. How can that be written in a mediation (read: legal, ‘civilized’, state sponsored husbands’ extortion) based agreement?
Wives do not have any obligation under Indian legal system.. they have only privileges. Men have no privileges, they have only obligations. Now judges are enforcing the obligations on men with all the brutal state power at their disposal.

The Delhi High Court has asked a man to purchase a house for his wife to live separately from her in-laws or be ready to go behind bars for not fulfilling a condition arrived at during mediation in the trial court.
Justice S N Dhingra asked the woman, who had filed a criminal complaint related to dowry harassment against her husband and in-laws, to find out a house, available at Rs 18 lakh, which would be bought by her husband.

Well… this has been enforced by the legal system as a “Social Security”. Because in real day to day life… a dedicated wife does not has any privileges… they have only the obligations… she has to work, cook , handle the kids, keep the in-laws and their relatives happy, live in a formal setting 24*7*365,in this whole process her own self is destroyed. whereas men have no obligations, they have only privileges… they can simply deny to keep any direct contact with his in-laws, works n parties with whomever he wants.
