If Jobless, Work As A Labourer To Pay Maintenance To
Wife: Allahabad High Court
Jan 28, 2024
LUCKNOW: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court
has said that a husband, even if he has no income, has to maintain his
estranged wife by engaging himself in labour work as he may earn Rs 350-400 per
day as an unskilled labourer. A bench of Justice Renu Agrawal passed the order
on Thursday.
In the instant case, a Unnao man had filed a revision
petition before the HC challenging the order of the principal judge (trial
court) asking him to pay a monthly maintenance of Rs 2,000 to his estranged
wife. In the revision plea, the man had said that the principal judge failed to
consider that the estranged wife was a graduate and was earning Rs 10,000 per
month as a teacher. He also said that he was seriously ill and was under
treatment of a doctor.
In the order, the HC bench said that the man could not
produce any document to support his claim about his wife's income as a teacher.
The court also considered that he was a healthy man and was capable of earning
money, and that he was also liable to maintain his estranged wife.
