A family court in Madhya Pradesh ordered a woman to pay ₹5,000 in monthly maintenance to her husband after separation. The case involved a husband who left college at his wife’s request and claimed unemployment while she ran a beauty parlour.
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that a wife cannot be denied maintenance simply because she is qualified, unless it is proven she quit her job to seek support. Both the husband’s challenge and the wife’s request for more maintenance were rejected.
The Gujarat High Court criticized a woman living in the US for 10 years who refuses to consent to divorce and is only interested in demanding maintenance. The court suggested a one-time settlement to protect the couple’s 10-year-old son.
A Gujarat woman living in the US for ten years is seeking maintenance from her estranged husband but refuses to divorce. The High Court suggested a settlement for their child’s sake and warned about potential custody changes.
The MP High Court ruled that requiring a husband to provide his salary slip in a maintenance case does not violate his privacy or liberty, ensuring fair adjudication in support cases.
