If you are against Dowry, why aren't you against Alimony ? or are you ?

It's literally the same thing.

"Our daughter was a topper in her class in school and earns 4 LPA in a reputed MNC. We are seeking grooms from IIT/IIM only. We are against dowry.

Salary expectation: 50 LPA"

It all starts here my friend.

A man can claim alimony as well. Take your chauvinism elsewhere.

I am sorry if you have faced adverse circumstances. But alimony makes a lot of sense when: Educated girls earning jobs are married off early in their lives to ‘good families’ who then either explicitly or inadvertently have them quit their careers/forego their independent source of income to support their son/build their families, and then 5/10 years down the line find themselves divorced /abused and without a career which could have been all because they got married and had to take care of their in laws homes. And add children to the mix, and it is horrible! Bad case scenario:

Evil hags doing this for vengeance and prove themselves superior.

A law in itself cant be good or bad, the context defines it, thats why there are so many ‘judges’ I have unfortunately been privy to both types of scenarios from very close quarters in my personal life.

Think it is same:
Dowry : What groom asks from bride for her maintenance Alimony : What bride asks from groom for her maintenance. Correct??

Dowry is more like what husband asks for improving his and his family's comfort and social stature. Or maybe ask the moms and dads to be good in laws and let the girl continue work so that she can maintain herself.
