Recent discussions have highlighted the legal rights and protections available to men in Indian marriages. Under laws such as the Hindu Marriage Act (1955) and the Special Marriage Act (1954), men can seek divorce on grounds including cruelty, adultery, and desertion. Men facing domestic violence have legal recourse, with provisions allowing them to challenge false allegations and seek protection. In certain circumstances, men may also claim alimony or maintenance, particularly if they face financial hardship due to illness or other valid reasons. The misuse of dowry harassment laws has been a contentious issue, with legal provisions in place to protect men against false accusations. These discussions emphasize the need for balanced legal protections to ensure justice for all parties in marital disputes.
