HC orders father to pay Rs 46L for daughters' edu
On May 29, 2026, the Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that a man must pay Rs 46.2 lakh for the education expenses of his two daughters. This decision came as the husband claimed he could not afford to support his daughters' education due to his financial struggles. The court found that the man, who was a chairman of a registered co-operative society and a nursing institute, had a good income, despite his income tax return not accurately reflecting his earnings.
The high court emphasized that women's empowerment is not merely a theoretical concept but needs practical implementation, and in this case, the man was financially capable of providing for his daughters' education.
