According to Bhutanese Marriage Act (2009), a father at fault in a divorce case should pay full child support allowance of 20 percent of his income until the child reaches 18 years. Child support allowance can go to a maximum of 40 percent of the father’s income for two children. If the mother is at fault both parents pay 50 percent of the allowance.
The above paragraph is from the Kuensel (November 2009). It makes no sense whatsoever. It is a bullish law that any law abiding citizen can see the hypocrisy of it all. Where is the equality in that law? Seeing that rule you would think that Bhutan has more rights for women than men. What a wonderful country of equality!
Now read this. "A child born to Bhutanese father and foreign mother is a citizen of Bhutan. But a child with foreign father and Bhutanese mother is not a Bhutanese citizen."
Who are these people making these rules? Absolute nuts!
Hw can politics dictate the citizens personal life.?this is in reference to the silly marriage act to a non bhutanese.Every human has the right to fall in love and marry at will.Hw can the rule makers interfere in matters of heart? if they are true followers of Buddha they would not do so.Its just sad.
