Harassment is sometimes done just to make a difference to the husband. Similarly, the tendency to hold all the in-laws guilty and implicate them in the crime is also strengthening.
The court made a significant ruling as part of it, stating that the wife cannot request alimony or maintenance from her husband without working. Every man needs to put in some independent effort without relying on anyone. Nobody achieves success without working hard. To rely on someone else only to sit and eat is bad. a person who struggles to provide for his family and himself. Nobody can manage a household while believing that someone else will take care of their needs without them having to put in any effort. Because of this, the Karnataka High Court rendered a significant decision.
A wife should make an effort to support herself. She cannot collect all of her support costs from her estranged spouse by doing nothing, according to the Karnataka High Court. After being married, the husband and wife started to disagree. The wife was not prepared to live with her husband, in-laws, and Nanda, who was single. She relocated to her mother’s home from her husband’s home. Before getting married, she had a job. However, it was now vacant. As a result, the court decided in this case in favour of the husband.
The Special Marriage Act of 1954, the Hindu Marriage Act of 1956, the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, Section 125 of the Indian Penal Code, and the Domestic Violence Act all grant women the right to maintenance. that alimony Law is allegedly exclusively made for women. The only law that allows husbands to ask their wives for maintenance is the Hindu Marriage Act. However, in other rules, the wife is the only one who can exercise such right. Several fundamental considerations are taken into consideration while determining maintenance or alimony. Social standing of both parties, demands of the wife and children, educational and professional background, alternate source of income, and possession of the wife’s own residence are some factors to consider. Before getting married, did the wife have a job? Did she have to quit to take care of the family?There are various considerations for housewives, including lawsuit costs and medical costs for oneself or dependents.
These are also present in this instance. This choice was made after careful consideration of the issue. According to the Domestic Violence Act, the woman in this case requested support from the husband in court. The court had given Rs 3 lakh in restitution and Rs 10,000 per month in maintenance. This was contested by the spouse in session court. The court decreased compensation from three lakh to two lakh and maintenance from ten thousand to five thousand. The wife filed an appeal against this with the High Court. She claimed that the compensation of Rs. 2 lakh and the maintenance of Rs. 5,000 were insufficient. Why aren’t women who were employed prior to marriage employed now?The High Court dismissed the wife’s argument that the mother and unmarried sister are the responsibility of the husband, who owns supply stores.
