Indian Courts Uphold Alimony and Maintenance Payments Despite Husbands' Financial Claims
Two Indian family courts upheld significant alimony and maintenance payments despite husbands' claims of reduced income or financial burdens. The Karnataka High Court affirmed a Rs 15 lakh permanent alimony, emphasizing an able-bodied husband's duty to maintain his wife regardless of income claims. Similarly, a Gurgaon family court ordered Rs 2 lakh monthly maintenance, rejecting the husband's argument of a 50% income drop and substantial home loan liabilities, considering his earning capacity and ongoing financial responsibilities.
