Because like the Military Draft, there are things women's groups will not address.
Another ViewOne reason why both individual women and women's groups alike may object to giving up the advantage women have in certain areas of society is that we are still not equal in all the otherareas of society.
For example, while alimony is still legal, women still make less money than men (see Related Links).
And while only men can be drafted as of yet, the glass ceiling still exists in many professions, and women are still primarily judged by their physical appearance rather than their character and abilities.
When women finally achieve complete social equality in every other aspect of society, then we can talk about leveling the playing field in those few aspects of society where women have the advantage.

In order to qualify for alimony you need to go through the legal divorce procedure and the judge will decide whether or not you will receive alimony based on many factors. Some jurisdictions may still have a method of spousal support for couples who do not divorce, often for religious reasons. In either case you need to consult with an attorney who specializes in family law in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and explain your options.
Yes.
No. Once an individual remarries alimony obligations become null and void. Caveat: This may not be true if you are 'behind' on support payments that were due up to the point she was married; Check your State / Nations law / Court Order, on this.

Yes, once the wife is legally divorced she can date or live with whomever she wants and still collect alimony if that was the agreement in the divorce settlement.
Wouldn't that be cruel...NO, he wouldn't! Unless there was some clause specifically written into the settlement (did he have a lawyer read it and advise him before he agreed to it?), the alimony terminates when she remarries.
