Mumbai, Nov 8: Mumbai businessman has been ordered to pay Rs 1.5 lac monthly interim maintenance by a magistrate’s court after wife told the court that she lost her job due to ill health caused by repeated harassment by the man.
A total of Rs 42 lac will have to be paid by the husband in interim maintenance arrears-from the time she submitted the complaint and sought relief in July 2018.
The court said in a recent order that even if “it is assumed that the applicant (wife) is a working woman… it is the moral duty of the respondent (husband) to maintain” her. “Considering day to day necessities, costs… and earning source of the respondent, the applicant is entitled for interim maintenance.”
