The High Court went through the details in the matter and took strong objection to the Family court’s order. The bench expressed their displeasure stating,

Despite the husband bringing such an important matter to notice, the lower court ignored it. But the High Court will not make such a mistake.

The High Court has now discontinued maintenance allowance to wife with immediate effect.

Our Take:

Anyone who has been visiting the family court, will know exactly how the system operates. Husbands bring hard evidences on record to demonstrate source of income, assets and other things owned by wife. However, somehow the lower courts overlook everything and reward women a sum amount which could be often outside the purview of law.

Most of the times, perjury applications filed by husbands too are brushed aside, where women forge signatures or produce fake documents to show exorbitant expenses. Why should an educated, fully-abled woman, who had a short lived marriage with no children, be rewarded any amount? Is divorce a licence to get lifelong tax-free income?

The absolute bias towards this gender is a reality and if any husband is able to waive off the legal extortion by court, the same must be attributed to his sheer luck.
