Wife who earns ₹70,000+ asks for ₹50,000 per month maintenance from husband. High Court says you earn enough for yourself , husband doesn't need to "maintain" you.

For once, common sense has prevailed.

Such extortionists must be fined heavily for spoiling important time of court.

This should be the default for every alimony case, the person making the child support maintenance claim should have to prove that they need the money in my opinion.

Alimony is an absolutely archaic concept and is in many cases nothing more than extorting an ex simply because someone feels entitled to do so.

this is why it is NOT in a mans best interest to EVER get married. vaginamony is real and not worth it.

This all depends on the scenario and I'm trying to mitigate them all to some extent.

Scenario A: You earn 60k and I earn 20k both full-time and we get a kid. We decide child services are worse than one of us staying at home so one of us takes care of the kids. Me having the lower income seems better suited as this leaves us a higher net income. After four years you don't love me anymore and ask for a divorce. Now you didn't lose anything as you have been gaining more work experience while I didn't and go back to maybe 20k when if I worked 4 years would've maybe earned 35k.

Scenario B: We married when I was 18 and you were 25. You were earning 45k a year and told me I didn't need to go to college I can support you in the house and everything, cook, clean etc as you work 70-80 hours a week. After 6 years you divorce me because you found a different person. I'm now out of a job and education on a decision we made together. Or let's say ur abusive, I need to do what you want or you divorce me leaving me with nothing on the street.

Both partners need to be protected to some extent. Either side could exploit this system if done wrong. Neither side should hold all the power.

I can't believe it! I really can't!

Family law needs a total overhaul.

The only scenario where alimony should be considered is when someone has left their career on hold in order to take care of the kids or similar.

And alimony should be 1 year max. Then suck it up like the adult you are.

Alimony should really be limited to a short length of time and awarded more scarsely.
