Maintenance To Men

A family court in Pune ordered a 78-year-old woman to pay alimony of Rs 25,000 every month to her 83-year-old ex-husband. Reportedly, after 55 years of marriage, the couple filed for divorce in 2019. According to Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, the husband, having no income, can also claim for alimony. Upon pronouncing the order, Tye court stated that the law "shouldn't be gender specific".
