Allowance to wife must not become a burden: HC
The Jharkhand High Court observed that, “It is the moral obligation of the husband to provide maintenance to his wife, ensuring she maintains a lifestyle similar to that of her matrimonial home, but this does not justify burdening the man to the extent that marriage becomes a punishment to him. The court made the observation while hearing a petition in a matrimonial dispute filed by a Dhanbad resident, who prayed for revision of the maintenance amount awarded to his wife. The court of Justice Subhash Chand further observed that it is moral duty of the husband to pay maintenance to his wife but it does not mean she can burden him.
