“Why give maintenance, isn’t it like a dowry?”; If dowry is wrong, maintenance paid to wife is also wrong, says Shine Tom Chacko – CINEMA – CINE NEWS

Actor Shine Tom Chacko's reaction to marriage and dowry is grabbing attention. Shine Tom said that if the dowry is wrong, the maintenance paid to the woman after the divorce is also wrong. The actor's reply came during an interview he gave to a channel during the promotion of his latest film 'Vivekanandan Viralaanu'.

“Whoever likes the dowry can give it, and whoever doesn’t like it doesn’t have to give it. Why should you pay alimony to your wife at the time of divorce? Isn't that something like a dowry? When gold and money are given.” “On marriage, the husband receives the same amount, on divorce it is returned to the wife,” said Shine Tom Chacko.

“The court decides on maintenance. Why should a man give his wife money in a divorce? . Aren't the two the same? If one seeks a divorce, why should the other pay money?” asked Shine Tom.

“Some say they gave the dowry for their daughter with all their hearts. Others say that they gave the dowry at the request of the groom's family. Alimony payments should not be paid. We all saw that Hrithik had to give Roshan a huge sum as maintenance when he divorced his wife,” he added.
