The HC noted that the woman was working before her marriage, and has not explained why she cannot work now.
The Karnataka High Court, while commenting on a divorce case, observed that a wife, who was employed earlier, cannot sit idle and seek full maintenance from the separating husband. Rather, he should also make some efforts to run his life.
Justice Rajendra Badamikar’s bench dismissed the woman’s petition challenging the sessions court’s decision to curtail the amount of maintenance and compensation.
The High Court said – used to work before marriage, so why not now
The Single Judge Bench of the High Court was hearing the case, in which the order of the Sessions Court was challenged, in which the alimony given to the woman was reduced from 10 thousand to 5 thousand and the compensation from 3 lakh to 2 lakh. was given.
Justice Badamikar noted that the woman was working before her marriage, and did not provide any explanation as to why she could no longer work.
Woman can seek only supportive maintenance from husband
The High Court also said that the woman should not sit idle and demand full maintenance from her husband. She was legally bound to work for her living. Therefore, she can seek only supportive maintenance from her husband.
Earlier, the woman had said in her petition that the maintenance she was getting was not enough. The Sessions Court has also reduced it without investigation.
The court did not cut the expenses of the child
The High Court said that the Appellate Court has confirmed the order to pay maintenance to the child. Only wife’s alimony has been done. The court also noted that the woman did not want to live with her mother-in-law and virgin sister-in-law. But her husband, who runs a provision store, also had the responsibility of taking care of his mother and sister.
The court said – there is no concrete evidence on the basis of which the compensation was fixed. Nor was it challenged. Therefore, the question of interfering with the order does not arise. The woman’s plea is dismissed.
