Bengaluru Court Rules LinkedIn Profile Not Proof of Income for Maintenance Claims
A Bengaluru court ruled that a wife's LinkedIn profile, qualifications, or social media presence alone cannot be considered proof of income to deny maintenance. The court emphasized the difference between the capacity to earn and actual earnings, noting that the wife was unemployed when filing the petition and that childcare responsibilities are not solely monetary. The ruling highlights that evidence of employment or income must be concrete in maintenance cases, not inferred from online profiles or qualifications.
