Indian Courts Address Maintenance and Divorce Amid Family Law Disputes
Two recent Indian court cases highlight complexities in family law regarding maintenance and divorce. In Bengaluru, a court ruled that a wife's LinkedIn profile does not prove financial independence, affirming her right to maintenance despite her qualifications. In Jharkhand, a family court denied a divorce petition citing the wife's career ambitions, but the High Court later considered allegations of cruelty and abuse. Both cases underscore judicial scrutiny of personal circumstances beyond professional status in family disputes.
