Can't seek alimony as means to equalise wealth, says SC
Hindustan Times Amritsar|December 20, 2024
A Hindu marriage is a sacrament and not a commercial venture, the Supreme Court held on Thursday, highlighting concerns over the misuse of penal laws in matrimonial disputes and clarifying that alimony cannot be sought as a means to equalise wealth between spouses, even if the husband has achieved financial success post-separation.

NEW DELHI:

In a comprehensive judgment, a bench of justices BV Nagarathna and Pankaj Mithal laid down key principles concerning the misuse of penal laws and the determination of alimony, as it dissolved a marriage on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown.

"A Hindu marriage is a sacrament and is considered to be a sacred institution as a foundation for a family, and not a commercial venture," declared the judgment authored by Justice Nagarathna. It underscored the spiritual and traditional nature of Hindu marriages, stressing that they are intended to form the bedrock of family life and societal harmony rather than serving as platforms for monetary or material disputes.
