The high court bench of Justice Jitendra Kumar observed while upholding a family court order directing a Muslim man to pay his wife INR 7,000 per month. The Patna HC dismissed his plea that their marriage had ended by mutual consent. The woman applicant had alleged cruelty soon after marriage, forcing her to return to her parents. The petitioner claimed that she had no income and sought INR 15,000 per month, pointing out that her husband worked abroad and earned around INR 1 lakh monthly. Few Moral Lapses and Return to Normal Life Is Not 'Living in Adultery', Says Patna High Court; Upholds Wife's Right to Maintenance After Husband Claims She Committed Adultery.
