Utterly appalling. After divorce it is reasonable that partners should get their share of what they contributed to the couple's wealth or otherwise be put back into the situation they would probably have been in had they not married. Anything more is wrong in principal.
The law is an idiot. These women are scumbags.bloggoth

For longer marriages the contribution is not measured in simple financial terms, but also takes into account mutual support, running the household, child care etc. It would be, in my view, morally wrong to not take these things into account. Part of marriage is giving up your singleness and all that entails for and to the other person - that must be quantified. You can't go back to the state you were in before the marriage, because you did get married - nobody forced you.
In any case, the law has to deal with how things are now - not as xoggoth would like the law to be. So it seems reasonable that if a settlement was based upon an untruthful statement of assets,
then the case should have to be reheard.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

When they split up, she gets half of the money. But he doesn't get half of the holidays, half of the education, half of the time off, half of the fancy restaurants. She doesn't get half of his burden of working so having to work 6 hours a day 5 days a week for x years.
So I would say it is morally wrong not to take those things into account.
And since you can't directly do that, you should probably look into the circumstances of both people as individuals and how they behaved during that period, and compensate accordingly.Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

However:
Ms Gohil, 50, from north London, accepted a car as well as £270,000 as a settlement when she divorced her husband Bhadresh in 2002.
In 2010, Mr Gohil was convicted of money laundering and jailed for 10 years.
At his criminal trial, evidence revealed he had failed to disclose his true wealth during divorce proceedings.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
