A Delhi court has refused interim maintenance to a woman earning more than Rs 60,000 a month despite her claim that her husband earns over Rs 1 lakh monthly, observing that financial support is not automatically payable merely because one spouse earns more than the other, reports TOI's Koushiki Saha.
The ruling came while the court was hearing cross-appeals arising from a maintenance dispute between the estranged couple. While the wife sought maintenance for herself, the husband challenged the financial support awarded to their minor daughter, arguing that the amount was disproportionate considering the mother's income.
