Denial of Maintenance to Wife, Family Litigation and Digest on Divorce for husband (Set of 3 Books) - By LRC Publications

"Maintenance Laws" have been enacted as a measure of social justice to provide recourse to dependant wife and children for their financial support, to prevent them from falling into destitution and vagrancy. There are different statutes providing for making an application for a grant of maintenance/interim maintenance, if any person having sufficient means neglects, or refuses to maintain his wife, children, and parents. The different enactments provide an independent and distinct remedy framed with a specific object and purpose. Maintenance is awarded based on the financial capacity of husband and other relevant factors. Since it is the sacrosanct duty of the husband to provide financial support to the wife and minor children, the husband was required to earn money even by physical labour, if he is able-bodied, and could not avoid his obligation, except on any legally permissible ground mentioned in the statute. This book is a collection of judgment/orders of the Supreme Court of India and all High Courts where the maintenance was denied to the wife or quantum of maintenance was reduced on different grounds.
This book is not an attempt to advocate that wives are not entitled to maintenance but where evidence on record demonstrates legally permissible grounds for denial of maintenance to the wife, the courts should consider the same while disposing of the maintenance application/petition. It is to be borne in mind that the liberal interpretation of social welfare legislation is necessary to further the object of the legislation and not to dilute the same.
The present book KEY CASES DENIAL OF MAINTENANCE TO WIFE covers maintenance cases in favour of the husband. The main approach and structure of the book have been retained in the Third Edition, however, with the addition of more case laws and citation of law journals this book has been completely revised.

Divorce is a complex and emotionally charged process, often filled with uncertainties, anxieties, and life-altering decisions and it deeply impacts the lives of both partners involved. The adjustment is the underlying principle of matrimony and petty squabbles cannot be taken as amounting to cruelty in any event, to seek a decree of divorce, even though the rising rate of divorce is a reality. Though every individual’s situation is unique, but in many cases, husbands are victims of cruelty, desertion and other matrimonial offenses and they suffered harassment, mental torture, mental agony as well as financial losses due to the conduct of their wives. The breakdown of a marriage is never easy, and we acknowledge the pain it brings to both parties involved. The objective of presenting this book is not to encourage divorce but to empower husbands who have found themselves on this path. The present book “Digest on Divorce for Husband” serves as a digest/key cases for lawyers, courts, law students and others involved in family law cases. A thorough search of the law has been made and the present book contains approximately Six Hundred Key Cases where the Husband gets divorced from his wife. The major theme of this book is to make Matrimonial/Family Court Practice easier and more effective to find out the rulings. An exhaustive index has been provided to enable the reader to pin any point to any particular topic he may be interested to know in the course of busy time. Equivalent citations of all leading Journals have been systematically arranged under each key cases and every effort has been taken to give a lucid exposition of the law. It is hoped that the present work will be liked by all concerned in matrimonial practice, legal practitioners and the courts.
