Really is a shame to see this common thread of most Western family court systems not caught up with the times; despite the workforce effectively doubling in the past 60 years, the financial burden is still unnecessarily placed on the man, many times to the point of their financial ruin. Yet this is never covered in any media ever. It's no different here in the US. And then some states like CA have truly bizarre things like "no-fault" (I think that's the term) marriages where after 10 years of marriage, the woman can initiate divorce for whatever reason and it always results in their receiving 50% of the husband's assets, and alimony, and the husband has no recourse at all (you can see many examples of this in celebrity marriages throughout the years).
