Don't worry, folks, I am still on my enforced sabbatical and am not about to start posting again!
But I was taking a sneak peek during the first break I could wangle from my present bondage, and I could not resist the urge to correct this "his money is her money too'' assertion, and all that it implies for the Manav-Archana-Purvi kidnapping affair.
There is NO LEGAL CONCEPT OF MATRIMONIAL PROPERTY IN INDIA AS OF NOW. This is the subject of amendments to the relevant laws,
to give the wife a half share in her husband's property acquired during the years of the marriage, which are now under debate. But even those amendments (which are
not yet law and might not be law for a while, and they have to be debated in Parliament and then only adopted and enacted)
apply only to immovable property.So, all that is periodically shown in Indian TV soaps of women claiming huge amounts in alimony or as part of a divorce settlement is plain hogwash. The wife is entitled to whatever alimony the husband agrees to pay or, if that is contested by the wife, what the court decides he should. This is fixed so as to meet the overall costs of her maintenance
at the level at which she was living when she was married to that man, plus provision for child maintenance if she gets the custody of the child/ children. The alimony ceases when she remarries.
She has NO claim to anything else, and definitely not to a half share in the husband's property, either acquired during the period of the marriage or otherwise.
So, as the Manav-Archana marriage is governed by Indian law, there is NO question of her automatically being entitled to or getting a half share of his property. Even her alimony would never be as heavy as is shown in PR, for her lifestyle with Manav was never luxurious, not even after he joined DK Industries and rose in it.
It might seem unfair, and it is, which is why the amendments are to be enacted. But those amendments are still nowhere near being the law, which is, at present, as stated above.
This is to clarify the correct legal position in the matter. The CVs of course play merry hell with both facts and the laws, but we need not join them in their follies! The rest is up to the emotional choices of the individual viewer.
Bye, and continue to have lot of fun with such arguments, as I get back to my new duties!
