Indian High Courts Rule on Alimony and Maintenance in Marital Disputes
Two Indian High Courts recently ruled on maintenance and alimony cases involving estranged spouses. The Jharkhand High Court ordered an RPF constable to pay Rs 30 lakh as one-time permanent alimony to his divorced wife and son, emphasizing financial security aligned with the husband's income and family standard of living. Separately, the Allahabad High Court upheld a monthly maintenance of Rs 20,000 to a wife, affirming that maintenance is a statutory right and a husband's social and moral duty, especially when the wife lacks independent income.
