Natasha is getting taunts, fingers were also pointed at Suzanne! Why so much commotion over alimony?

Fingers were also raised on Suzanne

Seeing Natasha being trolled over the alimony, the matter of Hrithik-Sussanne’s divorce, which happened 11 years ago, comes back to mind. Similarly, at that time, there were strong rumours of Sussanne getting a huge alimony of 380 crores from Hrithik. Even then, people had put Sussanne in the dock. Whereas, Hrithik himself had expressed his/her displeasure by calling this news false. he/she himself tweeted that all these are fabricated news, his/her close ones are being humiliated through this and their patience is being tested. Despite this, even today, many reports keep coming that their divorce is the most expensive. Apart from this, such discussions are also heard with relish about the alimony received by Karisma Kapoor from her husband Sanjay Kapoor, Amrita Singh from Saif Ali Khan and Aamir Khan’s first wife Reena Dutta.

Alimony is a legal right of a woman

Not only celebrities, but even in ordinary families, women who ask for alimony or maintenance are abused. Whereas, in reality, it is their legal right. Supreme Court senior advocate Rekha Agarwal says that even in ordinary divorce cases, when the matter of maintenance and alimony comes up, similar things are said that she robbed so much money. The only reason for marriage was that she left him/her penniless. Whereas, this should not happen at all, because it is her legal right. In both Hindu Marriage Act and Special Marriage Act, the law has given the right to maintenance in case of separation and alimony after divorce, but it is not that the girl will get whatever she asks for. For that, both the boy and the girl have to declare their movable and immovable property and income. The court decides alimony and maintenance on the basis of all these parameters – the boy’s property, income, who all are dependent on him/her, if he/she has a child, with whom is he/she living. It is not that after divorce the wife will automatically take away 50%. Another important thing here is that there are two types of divorce. The first one is mutual, in which both the parties decide everything by mutual consent. Whereas, the second one is fought in the court. In the case which is fought, the court hears the claims of both the parties and decides the alimony or alimony on the basis of their movable and immovable property. Whereas, in mutual the court has no role at all. In that, if the girl wants, she may not take even a single rupee as alimony or if the boy wants, he/she can transfer everything to her name.

Women keep dragging their heels

Regarding alimony cases of common people, Rekha Agarwal says, ‘These rights in the law have been made very thoughtfully and after careful scrutiny. There are many different provisions in them. For example, the allowances or alimony of these celebrities are higher because according to the Supreme Court, the girl has the right to live the same life that she was living in her husband’s house even after divorce. On the other hand, if she earns on her own and is settled, then her alimony is reduced. By the way, in common cases, apart from celebrities, most women have to struggle a lot to get alimony. Court cases go on for years. Then, tired and tired, women settle for half of the alimony they demand. On top of that, if the couple has a daughter, then the father is not ready to take her. In most cases, the mother takes her custody. Even if the child is less than five years old, the mother gets her custody. Just imagine, if in such a situation the woman does not get any allowance or alimony then how complicated her future life will become.

Men also get alimony

Although alimony is generally given to the wife, but in some circumstances the husband can also demand alimony. Such a situation arises when the wife’s income is more and the husband’s income is less or the husband is unemployed. Then the husband has to give an affidavit in the court to prove that his/her wife earns more than him/her or she is financially incapable.

In foreign countries everything is divided in half

Amidst the news of Natasha being given 70% of Hardik’s property as alimony, an old video of Hardik is also going viral, in which he/she is telling that he/she has named all his/her property in his/her mother’s name, so that in future he/she does not have to give 50% share to his/her wife (in case of divorce). But Rekha says, it is not written anywhere in our law that the girl will take 50% of the property. It happens in America that in case of divorce, the property of both husband and wife is automatically divided in half. If reports are to be believed, this trend has also been seen in the US that women there are richer than men despite less salary, due to the alimony received from divorce.
