I have filled divorce case against my wife where maintenance u/s 24 HMA is allowed. I asked her for one-time alimony but she didn't agree. If she file case u/s 25 HMA for monthly maintenance can court grant one-time alimony to avoid future litigation ? Please refer judgement if available..
This discussion clarifies whether a court can grant one-time alimony under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act. The consensus is that courts do possess the power to order a one-time settlement, even when monthly maintenance has been previously allowed. You can find relevant judgments on IndianKanoon.
