Indian High Courts Rule on Maintenance and Alimony in Divorce Cases
Several Indian High Courts have ruled on maintenance and alimony cases involving divorced or separated couples. The Jharkhand High Court ordered an RPF constable to pay Rs 30 lakh as one-time permanent alimony to his first wife and son, emphasizing financial security based on the husband's income and lifestyle. The Allahabad High Court upheld Rs 20,000 monthly maintenance to a wife, affirming it as a statutory right and moral duty. The Punjab and Haryana High Court rejected a man's plea to deny maintenance to his ex-wife despite her alleged subsisting earlier marriage, citing their cohabitation and child.
