Madras HC Directs Payment of Monthly Maintenance to Estranged Wife - (05 May 2021)

FAMILY

Madras High Court has directed a government doctor to pay a monthly maintenance of Rs. 15,000 to his estranged wife despite her having received Rs. 3 lakh in lump sum in 2003 following a compromise reached between them when she filed a petition seeking divorce. The Court has held that the woman was entitled to seek monthly maintenance, in addition to the permanent alimony, since now she had no means to maintain herself.
