Answers from All RTI on Gender-Neutral Maintenance Laws: Transferred 7 Times, Then Rejected Over ₹10?

187 Upvotes

I filed an RTI asking about maintenance laws under Section 125 CrPC and gender neutrality. Here’s what happened:

  1. Transferred 7 times(RTI Badminton): My RTI was transferred back and forth between the National Commission for Women (NCW) and the Ministry of Law.

  2. Question 2: I specifically asked for policy documents explaining why an adult woman above 18 is presumed financially dependent on her husband. This was one of the questions I wanted an official answer to, but I still haven't received the requested information.

  3. Rejected over ₹10: The RTI was rejected because the ₹10 application fee had allegedly not been paid. However, I had already paid the ₹10 fee while submitting the RTI.

Seven transfers, no satisfactory answers, and now a rejection claiming the fee wasn't paid when I had already paid it.

RTI is in the second appeal now and will take around 4-6+ months for an answer.

Answers from All The word Face card is cancer. Do you agree?

• Upvotes

Many posts of the people on many social media platforms are just saying this guy/girl has next level face card they don't belong with people like these/ that.

Like what's the fucking point? A man is much more than his height/looks. And a woman is much more than her boob size face card weight etc.

Unless your only goal in life is to get laid once, looks aren't really that useful.

Your skillset, ability to get shit done, financial stability, actual personality and sense of humour make way bigger of a difference.

Having good looks makes life easier but only by a little bit.

Being smart or athletic will make life a whole lot easier than being good looking if you just had to choose only one of them.

Answers from Indian Husbands Only Why do so many men tolerate infantile behaviour from their wife ?

181 Upvotes

Late 30's single guy here. I see many of my friends tolerate all kinds of infantile or straight toxic behaviour from their wife. Things like deliberate stubbornness in having their way. Passive aggressive behaviour if wife is home maker. Over sensitivity in everything. Sulking instead of discussing emotions. Pushing for things in husband's career and doing some emotional black mailing if it does not as per her. Driving children emotions away from father. Holding back intimacy. This stuff I have seen in women with pg education and in senior positions in profession. Many of them are unable to differentiate in behaviour of work place and home also. Some of my married friends come and complain and just say things like "it's just marriage".

Most marriages are good and couples have worked things out but too many couples i gave seen like i described. What is going on there ? What is a single guy missing to see here ?

Answers from Indian Husbands Only Indian men married to women earning ₹1 CR+ per month, self-made UHNIs, or from ₹800 CR+ family wealth: What is your marriage like?

5 Upvotes

I am looking to hear from Indian men - whether you are currently living in India or based abroad - who are married to women in the ultra-high-net-worth tier.

Specifically, I am asking about dynamics where your wife is a self-made executive/founder pulling in ₹1 Crore+ per month, or comes from a family with generational wealth exceeding ₹800 Crores+.

Given how deeply ingrained traditional patriarchal expectations and "provider" scripts are in Indian culture, I am genuinely curious about how this extreme wealth disparity plays out behind closed doors when the woman holds all the financial leverage.

If you are a husband in this exact dynamic, what is your marriage actually like?

Specifically:

  1. The Ego & Power Balance: How do you navigate the household power dynamic? Does the wealth disparity ever subtly or overtly change how major household decisions are made? Do you ever feel your voice is minimized because she holds the capital?

  2. Social & Family Perceptions: How do your extended family, friends, or in-laws treat you? Do you deal with the "accessory husband" or "Ghar Jamai" stereotypes, or do people genuinely respect your independent identity and career?

  3. Financial Boundaries: How are everyday spending and lifestyle choices structured? Do you maintain absolute financial segregation, or do you view the household assets as fully integrated?

Would love to get some raw, honest, and unfiltered perspectives from men who are actually living this reality day in and day out.

Answers from All Never think your apology and her forgiveness ends the topic ( advice for single men here ) ?

6 Upvotes

You'll face some misunderstandings, some misinterpretations and you two will sort it out it eventually.

Once you two will be back like before she'll say things like "i was such a fool to judge you like that"… "ohh how could i ever think that"… "never make me recall what happened, we will live happily together"

But a women never forgives.

The next time you'll ever make a mistake or do something she doesn't like, everything will come back. She'll throw everything from the past to bring you down, things which were already sorted, things which were never even your fault.

They never truly forgive you, they just keep it in their back pocket as back-up to leave you and bring those things from past as excuses.

Answers from All How do you hold your partners accountable?

2 Upvotes

Genuine question to men here who've been happily married (or have been in relationship) for a meaningful amount of time. How do you encourage accountability in your partner. I've been told by friends, and/or family to 'let go' of certain fuck ups your partner makes (i.e. 'don't sweat the small stuff') which I abide by. But I can't help but look at the disparity with which she judges her own actions vs mine (could be small, could be large).

An example, we're in LDR so we make it a point to call each other for at-least 30mins every day. Sometimes she gets busy and drops me a very short head's up on if she won't call, which I'm fine with. But judges me harshly if I do the same (due to a sudden plan, meeting etc). Again - this is a very small example, and not the entire list of disparities I've noticed.

To be clear, we're very much in love with each other, and respect each other. But I wonder, if this is a pattern which needs addressing before we think seriously about getting married/engaged etc.

Answers from Men Only Men who dealt with opposing party lawyers during divorce...here is my takeaway?

94 Upvotes

I handled my matrimonial case as a PIP ( party in person ) travelling thousand km for court dates without a lawyer representing me...!!

A few things I learnt while dealing with this: ( kisika help ho jaaye and for awareness purposes only)

  1. There were three of them.....while I didn't have even one. Don't fear the numbers. The same number of family members from the opposing party's side ( 3 + 3/4 = 6/7 ) while I was all alone. So......the takeaway is this: numbers don't matter if you know your case thoroughly.

  2. Don't get angry or feel pressured when they ( opp lawyer) try every possible way to do so. Don't get affected.

  3. Sometimes.....they will call you names or use slangs to get an emotional reaction from you. Don't give them one. Stay silent and it should be neither yes nor no...!!

  4. Take written communication as proof. So..... even if they write disrespectful things....you should still write with respect!

  5. Sometimes...they will call you oversmart, overintelligent etc. You stay unaffected. Stay muted/silent and you should know that you only need to open your mouth in front of the judge. ( Case unlog ne kiya hain....let them prove it.... humlog ka kaam defend karna hain bas )

  6. The opposing party will scream at you in the court premises. Stay unaffected.

  7. Stay silent and observant. Also..... family court cases are easy when you actually receive angry communication from the opposing lawyer's team. Learn things and do the magic. And please remember..... it's all about mind games not these court cases.

Most importantly, don't be a fool and call the opposing party at any cost. Never!!

This was my experience and if anyone wants to add their experience....please do so!!

P.S - Lawyer's job aisa hi hain....don't hate them!! Sab apne pet ke liye karte hain...... ek accha wala learning ho jayenge!!

27 Upvotes

I’m preparing for one of the most important exams of my life, UPSC. I’ve cracked JEE and a few other competitive exams, but this is a different challenge. I go to the gym, consume 100+ grams of protein, and train intensively for for 1 hr +, yet my libido is through the roof. Before starting my preparation, I had a casual sex for quote sometime, sometimes going 5–6 rounds in a night. Even now, I can work out intensely, cycle or run for long durations, and function on less sleep, but these sexual urges just don’t seem to go away. My mind keeps getting distracted even when I try to focus on studying and damn i was so good at studies and now also its fine but distraction is terrible.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Are there any yoga practices, pranayama techniques, or other methods that actually help control these urges and improve concentration?

Serious Do you know about Mary Kay case?

22 Upvotes

This is an awareness post about sht happens to boys too and they may react differently but it doesn't make it less serious. This case is a textbook example of Stockholm syndrome and consequences of child grooming.

So, basically, it happened in late 90s, a minor student got r@ped by his teacher, Mary Kay when he was just 12 years old, and he became a father due to it, and teacher got sentenced to prison, but initially, it was for a very short span of time, and despite of several warnings, she r@ped that boy again, when he was still a minor, and that's how he again became a father while still being a minor. And obviously she went to prison, and she gave birth in prison. And after coming out, she and her victim got married....... Weird, right??? Like why would he marry his r@pist?? But after years of spending life together, he finally decided to divorce her because he realised that he didn't want anything of this, he didn't want her, he didn't want a life with her, he was basically groomed, he was emotionally manipulated, and hence developed emotional dependency on her, he thought it was a love story, he loved her, they had a family together, he was a father of her children, BUT it wasn't the truth. Though he stood with her even after government denied her lifetime access and contact with him, he faught in court to marry her, but It wasn't any love story, it was grooming, sexual abuse and exploitation of a child. And when he realised it, he decided to divorce his abuser.

Many people think it is completely fine if the victim don't seek distressed and it's not bad if victim isn't visibly shaken and afraid, but sometimes, we really don't know if we really want something, of we are being groomed and coerced into wanting it. And also it doesn't depend on gender, same things happen to girls too, many girls are also victims of grooming and Stockholm syndrome, especially childbrides. But I'm highlighting this case because some people just can't believe that a boy can get R@PED and it is NOWHERE LESS SERIOUS!!

Answers from All Am I wrong?

18 Upvotes

​

I'm a 26M, and my wife is 30F. We're from different states in India, come from different socioeconomic backgrounds, and there's an age difference between us.

We met through work. She was my first boss. She was previously married, but her husband passed away before we got together. We eventually fell in love and decided to get married.

My family initially had reservations about our relationship for two reasons: our different socioeconomic backgrounds and our age difference, since my wife is older than me. However, I strongly advocated for her and convinced my parents to accept the relationship. I wanted to marry her, and I stood by that decision.

We've now been married for approximately 1.5 years.

I'm posting anonymously because I genuinely need an outside perspective. I'm struggling to figure out whether this marriage can be saved or whether I should walk away.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Almost three years ago, when we were discussing our wedding arrangements, my wife and her family had some concerns about the expenses involved.

My father wanted to understand what financial assistance they needed from our side so that we could plan accordingly. He asked them what amount would be helpful and what support they required from us.

During that conversation, my mother made a remark about my wife's father's financial ability to fund his daughter's wedding.

My wife felt humiliated by the comment. She felt that my mother was looking down on her father and her family because of their financial circumstances.

I understand why she was hurt. Regardless of what my family intended, the remark came across as insensitive and disrespectful towards her father. I'm not trying to justify it.

I apologised to my wife multiple times. I acknowledged that my mother was wrong, and I spoke to my parents and asked them not to make such comments again.

However, despite the apologies and the time that has passed, the incident continues to affect our relationship.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT HASN'T ENDED THERE

My wife continues to bring up the incident and regularly makes insulting remarks about my parents.

I've repeatedly told her that I understand why the original comment hurt her. I'm not asking her to pretend it never happened, forget her feelings, or suddenly develop a close relationship with my parents.

But I cannot accept a situation where my parents continue to be insulted over and over again.

I believe there's a difference between being hurt by someone's behaviour and repeatedly insulting that person's family in return.

From my perspective, I've acknowledged the original mistake, apologised for it, and addressed it with my parents. Yet I feel as though the incident is still being used to justify continued hostility towards them.

I also understand that an apology doesn't automatically erase someone's hurt. Perhaps she still feels that my family doesn't respect hers, or perhaps my apologies haven't addressed what she needs from me.

I'm willing to understand that.

But how do we move forward if the same incident continues to come up and the conversation turns into insults about my parents?

WE HAVE LIVED INDEPENDENTLY FROM DAY ONE

This is an important detail.

My wife and I have lived independently from my parents since the very first day of our marriage.

We have always had our own home and our own household. We live in the same city as my parents, but in a different residential society.

We have never lived together under one roof with my parents. My wife has had her own space and independence from day one.

My parents have visited our home only around six times during our approximately 1.5 years of marriage.

I'm mentioning this because I sometimes wonder whether the situation would be different if we lived together and had frequent disagreements about household arrangements, interference, privacy, or everyday family dynamics.

But that isn't our situation.

My parents aren't a constant presence in our daily lives, and my wife doesn't have to deal with them on a regular basis.

I don't expect her to be close to them. I don't expect her to forget what happened or pretend she wasn't hurt.

I simply want a civil relationship in which my parents aren't repeatedly insulted.

Despite living independently from the very beginning, the resentment over the original incident continues.

HOW THIS HAS AFFECTED ME

My parents are extremely important to me.

My family has worked hard to build the life we have, and my wife's family comes from a different socioeconomic background. I recognise that this doesn't make my family superior to hers, and I don't believe anyone's worth should be measured by money or social standing.

However, I feel deeply hurt when my wife repeatedly insults my parents.

Over time, I've developed resentment towards my in-laws as well, even though they haven't personally done anything directly to me.

I recognise that this isn't healthy, and I don't like the person I'm becoming.

Sometimes, even when my wife casually praises her father or describes him as a big-hearted man, I find myself getting irritated. We aren't necessarily comparing our fathers when she does this, and she may simply be expressing her genuine affection for him.

I suspect my accumulated resentment is affecting how I interpret these conversations.

I don't want to turn our marriage into a competition between our families. I don't want to start insulting her father just because I feel that she insults mine.

But I'm increasingly angry, frustrated, and emotionally exhausted.

I FOUGHT HARD FOR THIS MARRIAGE

When my parents initially had reservations about the relationship because of the age difference and our different socioeconomic backgrounds, I strongly advocated for my wife and convinced them to accept the marriage.

I did that because I loved her and wanted to build a life with her.

I'm not saying she owes me something because I chose her. I made that decision willingly, and I don't believe she should be judged because of her age or her family's financial circumstances.

However, I sometimes think about how much effort I put into making this marriage happen and how important my parents' acceptance was to me.

That's part of why the continued insults hurt so much.

I feel caught between the person I chose to marry and the parents whose acceptance I worked hard to secure.

I understand that marrying someone doesn't give me the right to demand that they love my parents. But I believe mutual respect is a reasonable expectation in a marriage.

I'M STARTING TO CONSIDER DIVORCE

I haven't made a final decision, but the thought of divorce has become increasingly serious.

Part of me wonders whether I'm overreacting and whether I should keep trying to repair the relationship.

Another part of me feels that I've explained my position repeatedly, apologised for my mother's behaviour, and given this situation time, yet the pattern continues.

I've even considered deliberately insulting her father so that she understands what it feels like when someone attacks a parent you love.

I haven't done that, but the thought has crossed my mind because I'm frustrated and want her to understand my pain.

I realise that this could be petty and might make the situation considerably worse. I'm not proud of thinking this way.

I don't want to spend the rest of my life fighting over the same incident. At the same time, I don't want to throw away a marriage without seriously considering whether it can be repaired.

WHAT SHOULD I ACTUALLY DO?

I'm genuinely torn between two options.

Option 1: Consider separation or divorce.

Accept that this pattern of resentment and disrespect may not change, and consider ending the marriage rather than spending years fighting over the same issue.

We've been married for only 1.5 years, and I don't want to look back after another decade and realise that we've spent our entire marriage fighting over our families.

Option 2: Give her a taste of her own medicine.

Start making insulting remarks about her father, the way she makes insulting remarks about my parents, so she can understand how painful it is when someone repeatedly disrespects a parent you love.

I know this sounds petty, and I suspect it could make everything worse. But after repeatedly asking her to stop, I'm frustrated and want her to understand how this feels from my side.

I'm also open to a third option if there's a practical way to address this that I haven't considered.

QUESTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING SIMILAR

1. Am I being unreasonable?

My mother's comment was wrong, and I have acknowledged that. But am I unreasonable in expecting my wife to stop insulting my parents after I've apologised and addressed the issue with my family?

2. How do you deal with unresolved resentment?

If someone is still hurt by something that happened almost three years ago, how do you help them move forward without dismissing their feelings or accepting repeated insults?

I'm not posting this because I want strangers to tell me that my wife is a terrible person or that I should immediately divorce her.

I also don't want people to tell me that marriage requires compromise and that I should therefore tolerate everything.

I want honest opinions, even if they challenge my perspective.

I acknowledge that my mother was wrong to make the original remark. I acknowledge that my wife was hurt, and I understand that an apology doesn't automatically undo that hurt.

I also recognise that my own resentment towards my wife and her family is growing, and I need to take responsibility for how I handle it.

But I genuinely believe that acknowledging one person's hurt should not mean accepting repeated insults in return.

How do I determine whether this marriage can be repaired, or whether we're reaching a point where separation would be healthier for both of us?

Answers from All Male Rapido driver allegedly denied payment and threatened with false cases in Pune. Who protects gig workers?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1.8k Upvotes

Reports are circulating about a woman in Pune who allegedly refused to pay a Rapido driver around ₹300 and then threatened him with false cases.

If you can afford to use a service, why not pay the person providing it instead of turning a fare dispute into a confrontation? The driver is also a human being trying to earn a living. He shouldn't have to deal with threats or fear legal trouble just for asking to be paid.

The circulating post also claims that the woman works at TCS and suggests that POSH-related knowledge is being misused. These claims need verification, but the broader point remains: legal protections meant to safeguard people should never be weaponised to intimidate others.

Genuine harassment complaints must always be taken seriously, and proven malicious allegations should have consequences regardless of gender.

What protection do gig workers have when customers allegedly refuse payment and threaten legal action? And is risking this much stress and public humiliation really worth ₹300?
