Virag Men's Rights Activists demand clauses of legal safety for men in Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill

Is it OK to expect men to pay up when a marriage/relationship breaks? Is it OK to hold a man responsible (always) for a marriage break up and ensure to have social and legal mechanism that force him to pay a price for it? Is it OK to abuse a man merely because he is a man? What are the answers to the above questions that we get at the back of our minds as we read them? If the answer to any of the above questions is a NO, then why do we still have gender-biased and anti-male laws in existence and more are in pipeline? This article explains the additional clauses that men's rights activists have demanded from the Govt. in the Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill.
