A Mumbai court rejected a woman’s request for ₹1 lakh in monthly maintenance from her husband, noting that she is qualified to work as a dentist. However, the court awarded ₹20,000 per month for the maintenance of their two children.
A Mumbai court sentenced a 25-year-old man to 1.5 years in jail for sexually harassing a minor girl by calling her “item.” The court ruled that using such terms objectifies women and constitutes outraging their modesty.
In an unusual ruling, a Mumbai court denied interim maintenance to a 36-year-old woman from Tardeo, who earned more than her estranged husband. Despite her higher income, the court did order the husband to pay child support.
