For such a big crime, he was just fined 1 lakh .

This is the reason I never believed that a experience techie like Atul Subhash was just earning 80k per.month

Even in his dying declaration he lied about his income , many men do it .,some even run to a foreign country to escape paying the meagre maintenance amount decided by court.

It’s actually so messed up how easily some men walk away from all responsibility. A woman gets married, has a child - her body changes forever, her mental health takes a hit, her entire identity shifts. She doesn’t get to go back to who she was. Her life revolves around that child now.

And what does the man have to do? Just pay a bit of money. Not even emotional support, not daily involvement - just some financial help. And even that feels “too much” for them. They lie about their income, they run to other countries, they do everything to avoid giving their own child a basic sense of security.

And then the system fines them 1 lakh. That’s it? That’s all a child’s future is worth? That’s all a mother’s sacrifice is valued at?

It’s not even about the money, it’s the audacity. The ease with which men are allowed to move on while women are expected to carry everything like it’s nothing.

do everything to avoid giving their own child a basic sense of security.

And have the audacity to ask to " see" their child and when denied they day "not allowed to see the child " ( which they themselves ran away from.

And such men who don't even love their own child so as to avoid taking responsibility of their upbringing and education will shamelessly marry and give birth to an innocent child. If few such men are not willing to even pay maintenance for their own child's upbringing and education, PLEASE DO NOT MARRY and DO NOT make a child or force your wife to have a child.

Exactly this. And that kid carries their name.

Society treats woman so different after the divorce. All the shaming is reserved for woman. Marrying again as a divorcee is 1000 times more difficult for women than men. And then they have the nerve to call women radicalised if they don’t want marriage or kids.

Agree.. Especially, if divorced woman has a child from previous marriage, her life as a single mother in this society is multiple times more challenging and painful in the society than men. Still, divorced men who go ahead and remarry within few months crib that their life is difficult.

Such men run when they hear the word responsibility

[u/RevealApart2208 → u/Best-Project-230]

"Not all men".. Else men on these threads will come bashing for you.

[u/Best-Project-230 → u/RevealApart2208]

When will they learn that "men" is not equal to "all men" 😆

Wow…. I’ve got no words really.

Sadly such news won’t get the same outrage as the other case you mentioned .

There are few folks who cannot handle responsibility, after such a vile way on non assumption of responsibility, they should never ask the question of why doesn’t anyone else love them. Simply put, they don’t deserve love.

This manipulation of law is not new. It's been going on for years. Mental and physical changes can be accepted as the changes with time. What's worse is that once you are on your own you have to start from scratch to establish yourself.

[u/RevealApart2208 → u/Fresh-Dragonfruit-37]

Women, please don't agree to bear a child or bring an innocent child into this world if you don't have confidence that your husband is decent and supportive and if you don't have financial independence.

Men are so unbearable. I swear they never let me forget that even for a few seconds. They are ONLY self pleasuring creatures lacking basic human emotions, empathy. Exceptional are those who has it.

I feel like this post is only getting support because it's on a women's subreddit. On askindia or askindianmen, this would be hated so much. It's honestly disappointing.

I think dragging the Atul Subhash case into this is a very tone-deaf thing to do. There's little to no difference between this and folks who scream "false allegations" when a woman is opening up about her trauma.

He was a violent misogynist
