A picture is worth a 1000 words, so we start our advice to men post with above picture. Studying above picture for 5 minutes will give you as much benefit as reading the whole of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, because you have most probably come here as a ‘victim of biased laws’, ‘harassed husband’, etc. etc. , and you are not a military general anyway; though one of these days one of them may also land up here!

Man seeks maintenance from live-in partner
It is a a sign that Indian men are not taking it lying down. A man in Hyderabad has asked for monthly maintenance from his working live-in partner of 10 years, relying on a recent Supreme Court judgment which allowed maintenance to a woman from her live-in partner. It is to be noted that there is as yet no provision in Indian law for maintenance to a man from live-in partner, but it is a sign that men are asserting their rights based on what is available to women. If a woman in live-in relationship is allowed to get same benefits as a married woman, then why the same logic can’t be applicable to a man? http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Man-seeks-alimony-from-partner/articleshow/6164976.cms HYDERABAD: Giving gender equality a fresh twist, a jobless man has sought Rs … [Read more...] about Man seeks maintenance from live-in partner

Only legally wedded wife can get maintenance under Hindu laws
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/City/Mumbai/2nd-wife-has-no-legal-claim-/articleshow/5891496.cms MUMBAI: A 64-year-old television actor, who is the second wife of an Andheri resident, recently moved the Bombay high court, seeking maintenance from her former husband, after their 17-year relationship ended. However, a division bench of Justice A P Deshpande and Justice R P Sondurbaldota rejected her maintenance plea, saying she was not the "legally wedded wife''. "As far as Hindus are concerned, marriage laws fall under the Hindu Marriage Act. So, unless the marriage is valid under the provisions of the HMA, those entering into such a marriage cannot describe themselves as a man and wife,'' said the bench. Under the HMA, a second marriage between two Hindus is valid only if neither of … [Read more...] about Only legally wedded wife can get maintenance under Hindu laws
