Bombay High Court Denies Maintenance to Woman Earning More Than Husband
The Bombay High Court denied interim maintenance to a woman living in New Jersey who earns Rs 8 lakh monthly, higher than her husband's income. The court noted that the higher overseas living costs alone do not justify maintenance claims and highlighted potential job risks for the husband in the IT sector due to rising competition and artificial intelligence. The family court had earlier rejected her plea but ordered the husband to pay litigation expenses. Custody of their two children is split between the parents.
