India: Divorce, Alimony Laws Stacked Against Men

What's nice about this story is the feminist version is totally absent, which does not happen too often. Excerpt:
'Sections 498A and 406, feels Sharda, have ensured that people are afraid of getting married. Under these sections, the husband's family can be harassed and booked on charges of 'cruelty'.
"Lawmakers have divorced themselves from reality. The Law Commission needs to examine this," Sharda added.
"Men get slapped with charges of neglecting guardianship and domestic violence during a divorce and Section 498A is often used as a bargaining chip for higher alimony," said lawyer Tarun Goombar."'
