It is surprising to read here cases where the Judge orders the man to pay 1cr lumpsum or 50k pm as maintenance and alimony.
Could anyone clarify on what basis the Judges come at this figure as in India a middle class person could never think about 1cr and on what ground Judges can ask a man to pay 50k pm as maintennace to wife who is working and not even having kids and situations where even man is unemployed.
In West the almiony is decided on the basis of number of kids,the duration of marriage and how much both earns.
In India is there any law or its just looking ath the face Judges write the alimony and maintenance amount ?
