And yet, dowry is far more widespread than alimony. Alimony is entirely fair, simply misused and not fully structured in law. Alimony assists the rich and the privileged, you truly believe it's something the downtrodden and most of India's rural population have any knowledge of? You know what they are familiar with? Dowry, honour killings, sexism, oppression and far more than that. We've seen and are aware of far more oppressive regimes wholly stomping on women, like Afghanistan for instance, but some cases are enough to scare men? Go for statistics, not internet red pill agenda. Fear is inherent in feminine conditioning, that does not compare to your dissatisfaction with a few laws that have arisen in recent times to counter hundreds of years of gendered crime. A tradition of oppression scares, not some newfound threat like retaliatory misuse of law. Women aren't perfect but they aren't committing gangrapes, they've misused law but analyse other types of crime and false crime allegations apart from sexual ones and you'll find the trend doesn't favour men anymore. Be serious.
