MY FRIEND GOT THE DIVORCE ORDER FROM KOLKATA HIGH COURT IN JUNE 2011. HE GOT THE DIVORCE DECREE IN HIS FAVOUR BEAUSE HE WAS BEING CHEATED BY HIS WIFE AND ER PARENTS AND ALSO ON THE GROUNDS OF CRUELTY. MY FRIEND GOT MARRIED IN NOV 2009. IT WAS AN ARRANGE MARRIAGE. MY FRIENDS WIFE WAS SUFFERING FROM CANCER IN HER PANCREAS SINCE 2008 WHICH THEY DIDNT DISCLOSE TO MY FRIEND AND HIS PARENTS BEFORE MARRIAGE. EVEN AFTER MARRIAGE THEY DIDNT DISCLOSE IT. HER PARENTS INTENTION IS TO DUMP ALL HER MEDICAL EXPENSES AND THE BURDEN OF PROBLEMS ON TO THE HUSBAND AND HIS PARENTS. AFTER MARRIAGE MY FRIENDS WIFE HEALTH STARTED DETEORATING AND SHOWING MANY COMPLICATIONS. MY FRIEND TOOK HER TO MANY RENOWNED DOCTORS AT BIG HOSPITALS/ NURSING HOME AT KOLKATA. AFTER DIGONISING AND GOING THRU THE REPORTS THE DOCTORS CONFIRMED HER DISEASES AND ALSO THE TIME (2008) WHICH LATER ON HIS WIFE ACKNOWLEDGED. MY FRIENDS AND HIS PARENTS GOT SHATTERED AND MY FRIENDS FAMILY LIFE GOT RUINED. ON TOP OF THIS MY FRIENDS INLAWS STARTED BEHAVING NEGATIVELY. THEY TOOK THEIR DAUGHTER TO THEIR HOUSE. THEY KEEP DEMANDING MONEY, MORE MONEY FOR HER TREATMENT. MY FRIEND VISITED HIS INALWS HOUSE, MEET HIS WIFE AND KEEP GIVING HER MONEY. BUT THE DEMAND FOR MONEY KEEP RISING........ HIS INLAWS STARTED ABUSIVE LANGUAGE TO MY FRIEND AND HIS PARENTS.HIS WIFE SUPPORTED HER OWN APRENTS. SHE JOINED IN A SERVICE NEAR HER PARENTS HOUSE IN THIS STATE OF DETEORATING HELATH CONDITIONS. THEY THREATNED MY FRIEND AND HIS PARENTS TO IMPLICATE THEM ON FALSE LEGAL CHARGES IF THEIR DEMANDS ARE NOT MET. OUT OF DEPRESSION AND NO OTHER WAY MY FRIEND FIILED FOR A DIVORCE SUIT WHICH HE GOT VERY QUICKLY...... HE HAD BEEN ASKED TO PAY THE MEDICAL EXPENSE OF HIS WIFE TILL SHE REMAIN ALIVE. HIS WIFE PASSED AWAY IN SEPT 2011. SHE WORKED TILL END OF JUL 2011.
NOW MY FRIENDS INLAWS (EX) ARE DEMANDING MONEY FROM HIM AS MAINTENANCE. FIRST OF ALL MY FRIEND IS NOT OFFICIALLY/ LEGALLY WIDOWER OF HIS WIFE AS SHE EXPIRED AFTER THE DIVORCE ORDER PASSED. SECONDLY MY FRIENDS FIL IS A CENTRAL GOVT PENSION HOLDER & ALSO HAVE EARNINGS BY SOURCE OF INVESTMENTS. HIS MIL IS A HOUSEWIIFE. THEY STAY IN THEIR OWN HOUSE AND THEY DONT HAVE ANY OTHER CHILD. THEY R THREATENING TO THIER SON-IN-LAW (EX) - MY FRIEND TO FILE CrPC 125 (MAINTENANCE).
DOES MY FRIEND LIABLE TO PAY MAINTENANCE TO HIS EX- INLAWS UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
PLS ADVICE.
