Mr Singh,

Mr Sawant has clearly explained you in detail the procedure which will help you, further you can submit proofs that he is unemployed, therefore not in a position to run the family.

Unemployment in my view shall be the best ground for divorce for your sister in law

Hello all

How can Unemployment be a ground for divorce in today era no job is 100% gurantee if a husband looses a job or is uemployed then in today world due to recession many high earnign husbands have lost theier job . then thier wifes should approach court for divorce

There are many instances where the court has awarded the maintenace alimony to the wife if the husband is not earning also

Mr Sawant has clearly explained you in detail the procedure which will help you, further you can submit proofs that he is unemployed, therefore not in a position to run the family.

i have a question is it the duty of only husband to run the family then what is the role of wife in the family  where is the indian society going

Here is the judgment:

CM(M) No. 1790/2006 Ritu Raj Kant v. Anita

“The maintenance is to be fixed on the basis of actual earnings of a person and not on his being able bodied person. In this country, there is no job guarantee given by the government to every able bodied person. Many able bodied persons are jobless in our country. The only job guarantee is under National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme under which 100 days labour work is assured to an unemployed rural person. The husband does not qualify for that. Moreover, the wife is equally able bodied. The wife has failed to show, in this case, any earning of the husband. She did not dispute the facts stated that the van was sold by her, the house was sold by her and she was facing a case filed by the father of the husband in respect of illegal sale of the house. The amount received from sale of the house is with the wife and she must be earning interest on it. She has failed to show any source of income to the husband. The bald allegation of his doing tuition without stating as to what was his educational qualification and to whom he was teaching, would not serve the purpose.”

If Unemployment is ground for Divorce then will she say the court that i do not want alimony /mainteance

thank uTroubled Hubby sir.u r saying rite.  section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act which laid down the grounds for decree of divorce.  In those grounds, unemployment is not a ground.

but in the SC it might be a ground under article 142 of indian consitution.

Hello All,

Firstly i would like to say thanks to troubled hubby for his opinion. Its really a matter to rethink that is it the only duty assigned to husband to run the family. But as you are also aware that girls after marriage are having legal right to take his share of property in propperty of her husband. So the amount of alimony will be the share of wife after divorce to run his livinghood.

But its really a true question in the present society where womens are empowered to live a prosperous life. This lawmakers should think what is the better way to make the women empowered without causing any harrashment to the men. As you are aware of the fact that we are in 21st century where we are following the western culture for women empowerment, duty of running the family should be shared by the husband and wife.

Its also my personal opinion that we should aid to build the relationship to the extent possible  and not providing support/ assistance in any kind to the peoples who really uses the law techniques for their personal goals.

Mr. Sawant explained very clearly. If u need any type of help u can contact me at:-09871158578/09711364956

Your sister in law will have to patient as divorce ptoceedings take time. However if the husband continues to evade hearings by giving lame excuses, the matter has to be strongly submitted to the court, and you will have to ask for exparte hearing of the case.

In the meantime to bring pressure upon the husband, your sister in law should immediately start proceedings for maintenance, and after the court awards maintenance, the husband will have to go on paying money regularly so long as the case is pending. This may put pressure on him to proceed with the case more diligently, or he may agree to give divorce by mutual consent.

Further proceedings can be started under section 498a of IPC for harrasment, torture and dowry demand by the husband if he is guilty of the same.and since if convicted he will have to spend upto three years in jail, the husband may be more reasonable and come to some agreement for dissolving marriage..

In case of further queries, you may contact me at tsthaker@rediffmail.com.

Best of Luck.

hi all ! its a matter between jija , sali and sadhu. let the case be adjourned for some time . things will become normal and she will withdraw her petition.

Of all the replies here Dr. Tripathi reply is best.

1. How come unemployment be ground for divorce when irretrivable breakdown of marriage is no more ground for divorce as per Justice Katju !

2. How come exparty decree can't be challenged by husband later on just showing his unability to work be it able bodied as per Justice Dhingra minimum wage theory !

3. How come no one thinks here that Divorce is a extreme solution either spouse resorts to at the end when there are no more solutions left out !

4. How come un employed husband can't claim S. 24 HMA against his wife who has hired a adv. to defend her petition vis a vis this husband who appears in person just to claim first S. 24 HMA !

5. How come DV Act applicability is advocated when the matter is something else!

Please note criminal route adobted by female goes only to show that she is determined to get divorce vis a vis only 2% conviction till date and counter complains by other spose.

With utmost regards to Ld. Legal faculty I say Indian Legal faternity is well trained to represent suit in favour of women (female) and not at all taught to fight for husband's point of view !

Again with highest regards to ld. legal faternity here some of the answers are untenable arguments in the eyes of Law.

I know I have nailed my last nail by saying above but somehow I could not support all these arguments which are non existing as per gender neutral codified HMA The Act.

Mods may unsubscribe me if everyone here feels I said something which is a truth but not acceptable to all here.
