No its not necessary but in India we have men who don't like this.we still have men as head of the family hence your in laws only will create trouble if you are more career oriented than your husband.very rarely you find support system to help you out.

Nope. Nowadays alot of men earn less than female. It's much more liberal now.

Some people feel it's important, others don't. It's a good idea for a couple to discuss this and see how they feel about it, so they can avoid problems later on if the issue comes up. Supposedly money is the number-one thing that couples argue about.
