Voluntary financial obligations, such as personal loans or emissions, cannot be used as an apology to avoid payments to his wife and child maintenance, the Delhi High Court decided, as Hindustan Times states.
Observation was made on May 26 while heard a petition from a man who challenged the Municipal Court’s order 19. April 2025, which ordered him to pay interim maintenance £15,000 – £8,000 of his stolen wife and £7,000 to their smaller son, according to HT report.
“The person cannot cure himself from his legal responsibility for maintaining his husband and addicted persons by artificial reduction of his one -off income through personal loans or long -term financial obligations that have been unilaterally,” she noted on Saturday.
The order also stated: “Disputances such as rent, electricity fees, repayment of personal loans, life insurance or EMI for voluntary loans are not in this context as legitimate deductions in this context.
The person cannot cure himself from his / her legal responsibility for maintaining his husband and dependent persons by artificial reducing his one -off income through personal loans.
Discharges such as House Rent or emissions for voluntary loans do not qualify as legitimate deductions in this context.
The couple married in February 2009 and had a child but began to live alone in March 2020. After the separation, the wife approached court and sought £30,000 a month as interim maintenance.
