Abolish, woman the weaker gender

Time has come to abolish the narrative that woman is a weaker gender. Women are matching men in every field often leaving men behind. But the sad reality is that the courts & laws are being used by women as tools not just to impose their power/will on men but to extort money as well. Extortion is rampant especially in matrimonial cases. Merely based on allegations wheels of justice system are set in motion in favor of women and scant regard is paid to merit. Courts are also more than happy to play to the gallery and continue to treat women as weaker section/gender.

            Idea that it is the responsibility of man/husband to maintain woman/wife must be nipped in the bud in contemporary times. Instead, at best discussion should be around limited support to non-working woman/wife until she becomes independent within a specific time limit. All maintenance laws in favor of women must be reinterpreted to reflect the same. This is beyond imagination that a wife who accepts being involved in adultery can still walk away with maintenance support by claiming she was involved in occasional adultery. So is the fact that courts are misinterpreting laws allowing disgruntled wife to live in a house she never lived in as long as it belongs to husband or relative of husband. To make men responsible to maintain women forever is an absolute injustice being meted out to them. Decision after Decision it is clear that merit is set aside and decisive factor is if party who approached the court is woman. In fact, core objective of every law which is to be fair is being repurposed to suit the narrative that women are a weaker section of society, hence deserve special treatment in law, and are at same pedestal as children.

            In the rush to favor women, policies/laws are such resulting in giving power to women, instead of empowering them, which is being abused thoroughly against men. Narrative that women are weaker section is so intrinsic to our society/law that they are often let go without any punishment even after proven false allegations by them, resulting in no fear of law in them. Misuse of rape law is rampant to destroy agency of man and make him slave. As per 2020 NCRB data almost 50% of Rape cases filed by women were under the category “Sex on the Pretext of Marriage” in which woman claims that male partner promised marriage to have sex with  then did not fulfil the promise. Most of these cases are filed on the whims and fancies of disgruntled women and clearly show first they can play card of “agency of woman” and when things don’t work out then card of downtrodden and weaker. Above all even if findings of the courts are that women filed false cases, however heinous,  they are either let go without any punishment or simple rap on the knuckle. No man can claim to be untouched by onslaught of women. Not only poor and common men, but lawyers, doctors, engineers, politicians, MLAs, MPs, IAS officers, IPS Officers, Judges etcetera  are impacted. Victim men are left with no other option but to lead a suffocating life or die by suicide and for men in India getting married is almost like a crime committed by them consequences of which they must suffer.

            This blogger would end by stating that it is often said law is fluid and reflects realities of society. Hence, it would not be wrong if law starts treating women at par with men instead of treating them weak in contemporary times. Presumption that woman is right and man is wrong must be obliterated from all the laws in favor of women effectively against men. Persons making proven false allegations must be dealt with iron hand as per law. Finally, attempt in maintenance cases filed by women claiming to be destitute should be to make them independent but dependent forever.
