Karnataka High Court – Bangalore: Wife Entitled To Enhanced Maintenance
Spousal support, often referred to as alimony or maintenance, plays a crucial role in ensuring the financial well-being of a spouse, particularly wives who may be economically dependent on their partners. The concept of spousal support acknowledges the contributions of both spouses to the marriage and seeks to provide financial stability, especially during and after divorce or separation. It recognizes that marriage is not just a partnership of hearts but also of finances, and aims to balance any economic disparities that may arise due to the marriage or its dissolution.
