In Indore, Madhya Pradesh, a retired bank officer in his 70s has been ordered by the Family Court to pay his 71-year-old wife Rs 12,500 each month as maintenance. The court has also mandated the payment of Rs 125,000 in arrears over the past decade. Principal judge Dhirendra Singh issued the order following the wife's petition. According to the application, the husband is retired and receives a pension, and owns a private residence in Indore.
The woman alleged that her husband had been neglectful and abusive after many years of marriage. She claimed he began mistreating her under the influence of children from his first marriage and eventually booted her out of the home. The woman further stated that the Family Court had issued a decree restoring conjugal rights to her six years ago, but her husband failed to adhere to the order and barred her from resuming a marital life.
Taking into account the husband's financial situation, pension income, and property ownership, the court directed him to provide the stipulated monthly maintenance and settle the outstanding arrears.
