Logic vs law- maintenance case

Dear Learned Members,

I need your kind suggestions and legal correctness about the below mentioned points. I would like to address few facts which are technically correct (u may differ), but need your guidance so that I (many others also) can use them for fighting their maintenance case.

As far as I know, in maintenance allowance laws for wife (divorced/married) and children, there is no clarification about from what part of salary of husband, the maintenance allowance should be allowed. It only states 'whatever honorable judge deems fit'.....what do you think? Is it logical?

For example, if my total salary is 40000, the judge may order 12000.....he/she never thinks that the 40K salary consists of allowances for special/personal purpose also.

Let’s take few examples of allowances (which I know better) in layman language:

  1. Transportation Allowances- it is the pay which the employer provides for the convenience of an employee to journey to and fro to the office, exclusively. If it’s been shared with estranged wife, does that mean the employee should attend 15 working days? The employer should not object, logically, that too when an honorable judge has done the partition.
  2. Personal maintenance allowances- it been paid to an employee so that he can bear a descent outlook while performing his duties. Sharing it, does that mean he should stops reporting to duties in impressive dress/uniform? The employer should not object, logically, that too when an honorable judge has done the partition.
  3. Technical Allowances- it is the allowance which the guy earns due to, he spends whole day in between machines. It’s a grant for his skill and knowledge about those mean machines and not his estranged wife’s. If the wife gets a share out of it, should the guy stop working on them? Technically he can. Should the employer bear the loss due to, the order of an honorable judge?
  4. Airworthiness allowances- it is earned by the husband since he ensures flight safety and airworthiness of aircrafts (fighters aircrafts too). Sharing it with separated wife, does that mean he should stop putting up his best and let the aircrew and passengers die, falling from high sky? The employer should not object, logically, that too when an honorable judge has done the partition.
  5. Insurgency Allowances- it is earned by the husband, if he (not the separated wife) is facing life threats 24x7. After sharing, should he run away to safer places, leaving behind his duties and responsibilities? Of course he can. Again, the employer should not object, logically, that too when an honorable judge has done the partition.
  6. Gallantry award allowances- earned by the husband, engaging himself on some kind of heroism. At least after giving share from it, the guy should stop himself doing such acts and start decorating his manhood with bangles, lipstick etc. The employer should not object, logically, that too when an honorable judge has done the partition.
  7. .
  8. .
  9. .
  10. And lots more…..that my private sector/govt. servant friends, out here, may be entitled…

And then if the guy wants to quit the job, the court of law will term it as ‘willfully unemployed’ and may send that person to tour de’prison for a month for not maintaining his estranged queen.

What is the remedy for the problem? Can anyone show such reasons to defend himself from this industry which encourages free earning? Are they still trying to talk about GDP and half salary to wives? Will the GDP grow this way? I know it’s a silly topic, still need your assistance in making out mind….correct me if I am wrong.

I think free earning should be stopped. Instead, order an amount out of husband's salary and call separated wife to do rest (for which he is literally not been paid) of his job.... :)

 

Regards.

P.S- Please don’t talk about moral, everybody is earning hard money. Nobody wants to share it, at least after separation. Also don’t talk about wife’s contribution to matrimony. Husband shed sweat and blood to earn bread and so does the woman at home to run family…hisaab barabar

@deep blues....very true my friend. but unfortunately, the application of logic is totally absent in the court rooms. it is only the true evidence that matters most in the courts.

1 you produce the evidence that wife is qualified

2 you produce the evidence that she is experienced to work

3 you produce the evidence that you took care of her

4 you produce the evidence that she was never neglected

5 you produce the evidence that she is working somewhere

6 you bring her salary slips and bank statements. and then pray in front of the lordship..........my lord here are my bits and pieces of evidence. if you dont have it........then you pay.......its as simple as that........bit*hes are born to be bit*hes..........they only known to extract their pound of flesh........nowadays marriage means being ready to sell of your own clothes to provide 'roti kapdaa and makaan' to your lovely wife............just think of that beautifull day when you got a grand marriage ceremony..........now is the time to repent....................i am going through this same phase...we all are sailing in the same boat............

There is no hard and fast rule or any logic being applied for maintanence although it is said that 1/3 rd of the salary is awarded .It is normally said that the judge takes into account your liabities/expenses  . Whatever the judge deems fit is given .Than if you are unhappy you would have to file an appeal in the next higher court :-) and normally just a meage sum is deducted from the actual allocated maintance .

Only there is a provision in HMA 24 for the husband to claim maintanence from the wife . whereas there is no Provision in CRPC 125 nor any other act .

@ no pain...my friend..i really feel astronished that the boat we r sailing upon is growing bigger nd bigger with increasing number of sailors like us...

comming 2 ur reply..... u must know that there are some(repeat 'some') rare nd unique species of families which train their girls not to work and instead of sending them to further higher education they prefer to get the girl married and then ........well u know!!! reason behind this is, the law of maintenance is getting older day by day, people like u nd me r fighting and finding out way to get rid of it and at the same time people in this extortion business are getting wiser day by day....they now come out with new ideas. kab tak bachoge???????????

it her women world were you get married to her and after some years you or she have some problems and face before the court 

here interesting is that she without any demand gets her maintenance 1/3 of husband salary (prviously when she is leaving with husband he may or may not give money to her) situation arises when they both face in court 

duniya choti hai
