Jharkhand High Court Upholds Divorce and Orders Maintenance in Cruelty Case
The Jharkhand High Court upheld a divorce granted to a woman on grounds of cruelty and desertion by her husband. The court noted the husband's abusive behavior, including assault and dowry demands, which made the marriage untenable. Despite dismissing her appeal against the divorce, the court ordered the husband to pay permanent monthly maintenance of Rs 10,000 each to the wife and their minor son, considering her limited income and lack of property. The maintenance for the son will continue until he reaches majority.
