In a recent Bombay High Court ruling, the court rejected an inflated alimony claim of ₹3.5 lakh per month by a wife and instead awarded a reasonable and fair interim maintenance of ₹50,000 per month each for the wife and their two daughters. The bench emphasised that maintenance must be based on actual needs and reasonable lifestyle, not on excessive or unsupported claims. While the wife cited her husband’s wealthy family trust and export business, the court carefully weighed her lifestyle, education, and existing financial support for the children before deciding the amount.
This judgment is important for Indian men facing excessive alimony demands — it shows courts can and do balance maintenance awards to avoid unfair financial burden.
