Courtroom Exchange Raises Questions on Financial Stability in Marriage

The viral clip captures a tense exchange where the judge challenges the man’s decision to marry despite lacking a steady job. The conversation unfolds as follows:

Judge: You don’t have a job?

Man: No, sir. I had written that whenever I am called, I go and give a doctor’s service.

Judge: When they drew the preemption, that was totally wrong. What did you say about your income?

Man: Sir, I said that I don’t have a job now. When I was called, I wrote that I had a job.

Judge: You are a doctor. You don’t have any right. Only a lawyer has the right to get married without an income. A doctor has no right. If you didn’t have an income, why did you get married?

Social Media Divided Over Judge’s Remarks

The video has triggered mixed reactions across social media platforms. On X (formerly Twitter), users have shared contrasting views on whether financial stability should be a prerequisite for marriage.

Some users support the judge’s perspective, emphasizing that financial security is crucial for a successful marriage. Others argue that such views reinforce outdated societal norms and ignore evolving gender roles.

The Broader Debate: Financial Stability vs. Social Expectations

The controversy highlights a larger discussion about gender roles, financial responsibilities, and the evolving dynamics of marriage. While financial security is undeniably important, the question remains: Should it be a legal requirement, or is it merely a societal expectation?
