No alimony for lazy women
A woman has been advised by a Delhi court while listening an alimony plea to make sincere endeavour to find a job, saying she is more qualified than her ex and cannot be allowed to sit idle at home to put financial burden on her ex-husband.
Her husband had been ordered to pay her INR 12,000 per month ($180). But, he filed an appeal saying that he will help her in finding a job and had also agreed to pay Rs 12,000 per month to her for a year.
The female District Judge Rekha Rani said that woman admitted being more qualified than the man. She is a valedictorian Masters in Science. She is able-bodied and has capacity to earn. So she cannot be allowed to sit idle at home to put financial burden on the appellant. She should make sincere endeavour to find work. As offered by the man, if the woman needs assistance of the appellant in finding job, she may communicate with him by sending SMS on mobile/email.
The court ordered both of them to exchange their mobile numbers and email addresses, within a week of passing the order before the trial court.
The woman, however, said she has never worked and will never be able to find a job as she has no experience and admitted that she has never made any effort to find one. She also argued that she has never travelled alone and wanted that the man should travel with her to help her find a job.
The court said "the submission is neither palatable nor digestible".
"She is embroiled in a bitter litigation with the man..Both are coming to the court separately. If she can come to the court to fight litigation alone, she can go alone to search a job as well," the judge observed. However, the man said that he was willing to accompany the woman wherever she has applied for a job.
