A recent Kerala High Court judgement observed that a man had married a young woman through dishonest means, even though he knew that he could not have a physical relationship with her due to a stroke that left him paralyzed. The court ruled that he could not avoid paying maintenance to his wife.
The Kerala High Court observed that although he is physically incapacitated, he has the financial means to support both himself and his wife. So the high court upheld the family court’s order requiring him to pay Rs 10,000 each month for her maintenance.
