Karnataka HC Reduces Alimony, Emphasizes Parental Responsibilities Post-Divorce
The Karnataka High Court reduced permanent alimony from Rs 2 crore to Rs 50 lakh in a divorce case involving two doctors, emphasizing alimony's purpose to ensure the wife's reasonable dignity rather than equalize wealth. The court ordered the husband to pay Rs 25,000 monthly per child for maintenance with periodic increments and granted him visitation rights. It also directed both parents to avoid disparaging each other before their minor daughters and to maintain a healthy parental relationship post-divorce.
