...The bill provides for a three year deadline within which marriages can be dissolved on the new ground of "irretrievable breakdown", which allows couples to file for divorce either jointly or separately in cases where the marriage has broken down for all practical purposes. ....... "However, the right over property will not be gender neutral as wife can lay claim over the husband's immovable property," he said.

So, someone can marry a rich son/daughter - continue with someone on the side, file for divorce after 3 years and claim share in ancestral property.

What next...extension to gay/lesbo "marriages" too..

Marriage is going to be a fun affair now...

Upps: The right over property is NOT gender neutral which means that the court has to make a ruling if the wife merits share of property, ancestral or otherwise. Wonder what criteria the court would use on a marriage that ends in divorce after three years.

You mean... they can be divorced and a court will rule on property sharing in due course - perhaps in 20 years, and the appeals and counter appeals will drag on till 70 ?
