Widow must give 25% salary to mother-in-law: HC
A widow in Rajasthan who was granted a government job through compassionate appointment after her husband's death is now required to pay 25% of her monthly salary to her mother-in-law. The Rajasthan High Court made this decision after the widow abandoned her in-laws following her remarriage. The court emphasized that the purpose of the compassionate appointment scheme is to provide financial support to the deceased employee's family, not just the widow.
The widow had initially promised to maintain her mother-in-law and other family members when applying for the job, but she later left them and remarried, violating the spirit of the scheme.
