@Aminroop Bravo for your observations.
i think we must understand that a marriage cannot be considered as a commercial contract especially in context of Indian understanding of institute of marriage.
patience and respect towards each other is bedrock of marriage.
having a legal instrument in place for easy exit from marriage might look like favoring one gender but what effect it will have on social fabric remains to be seen. my fear is it will eventually be negative.

If I ever walk out of this relationship(in his dreams!!! )

Poor fella! Fas gaya bechara!

I have yet to understand the mind-set of those couples who needs prenups before marriage ..... Marriage is not about find a way out to walk away easily rather living with respecting the each other's sensitivities n rest ups n downs are always there to test your relationship.....
Such marriages sounds like opportunistic relationship n same thing goes for live-in relationship as well ......

This certainly will have negative effect on social values that we profess .....

Feminists have already messed up institution of marriage in India, especially abuse of 498A has been turned into a money making enterprise by women.

Unfortunately thats true.
Responsibility of carrying a marriage lies on shoulders of both Man and Lady of the house and if we recall a time even say 10-15 years ago, we would see that while couple had their arguments and disagreements but they usually majority of them had wisdom to talk and sort it out. Then there were parents and elderly ones in family and only then the matter went taking legal route to wash dirty linen in public.
Today, these things of reconciliation are becoming increasingly rare and i get a feeling that with economic freedom is leading newer generation to develop a very casual attitude towards the institution of marriage (sorry for my choice of words but almost a Test Drive Sort of thing).
Last year one of young engineer working under me (aged 25) had a divorce just 15-16 months of his marriage on a silly account of girl not getting along with her mum-in-law. Nobody intervened from either family. There could be more instances of boy being equally stupid.
There was a time where one partner in marriage sacrificed his/her career for family (My late mother did) and kept welfare of family above all else.
I wish there were more people/groups/institutes to council couple before taking drastic step of separation.

Atleast prenups will make the divorce process hassle free and boy's family wouldn't be harassed unnecessarily.

Look at the intolerance ...

Prenups.

 

[jamahir]

IMO, pre nuptial agreement makes marriage sound like a contract.

i think we must understand that a marriage cannot be considered as a commercial contract especially in context of Indian understanding of institute of marriage.

i must point out that islami wedding is a contract, with some economic safety for the bride guaranteed for situation of divorce... it's another thing that 1800's indian corruption of islam ( deoband movement ) negates this socialistic aspect.

Wedding is sacred. Islami wedding should be banned.

Wedding is sacred. Islami wedding should be banned.

dowry murder, sati and chucking the wife into ( quack ) psychiatric "hospital" is sacred too.

lot of things are sacred in india, except human life.
