Karnataka High Court Upholds ₹15 Lakh Alimony, Orders Husband to Work

The Karnataka High Court, in a recent judgment, upheld a ₹15 lakh alimony award granted to a former spouse. The court found that the husband, who is physically able, must actively seek employment to meet his financial obligations. In its ruling, the judges emphasized that alimony is not a perpetual benefit but a temporary measure to support the recipient during a transition period. The decision underscores the court’s stance that a capable spouse cannot rely solely on a former partner’s support without contributing to his own livelihood.
