Is there typically any rule of thumb for Alimony. From what I have been seeing and reading Alimony is meant for maintenance purposes. Not too extravagant not too little either and for a working wife its going to be even less.
The respondent - the would be ex-spouse is working and working well in a software firm after having a bachelors in Engg in Comp Sci. what can be the expected terms of settlement. I am an NRI.No Kids - thank God.
I am really surprised at the recent SC decision where a clearly proven case where girl was torturing the husband - a regstrar through all false cases against him/his parents clearly proved wrong and was awarder 15 lacs as permanent alimony. On What basis?

Monthly maintenance and permanent alimony are separate concept.
While providing monthly maintenance the court sees the income of the wife whereas in permanent alimony it is not a criterion to avoid alimony.

If you are aware about the judgement of the Supreme Court which you have referred then it shall be better to go through it and find out the grounds of its pronouncement rather to ask here.
