Hello Everyone,
I need advice on a urgent matter about my niece
My Niece had married in 2000. Within two months of marriage. Her husband asked her to go back to her maternal home. She was suffering from epilepsy. she had only one seizure 4 years before marriage and
the father of the bride thought took doctors advice and married her off. He did not inform the husband/his family of this - Thinking that it was a one off thing. Now Unfortunately - She got an epileptic seizure within one week of her marriage. The husband thought she is suffering from chronic epilepsy and sent her back. Despite several attempts at arriving at a compromise - The husband did not come back and take my neice back.
Later the matter came before the Family Court at Nanded and the Court asked the husband to take his wife back and giving a maintainance of around 3500/- per month.
Now, The husband filed a case in the high court at Mumbai saying that the Bride and his family have willfully concealed the matter of epilepsy and asked for divorce and for quasing the family court order.
Now, The court during an observation says that - The matter was willfully concealed and if the Husband knew - He would not have married in the first instance.
Now, My question is what are the chances or best possibilities for my neice with regards to the following.
The Other party has come forward saying that they want the case to be disposed off and offered 8 lakhs in front of the court as the compromise. Now, they have also told the court that they cant give any more than 8 lakhs.
The lawyer says that please take whatever they are giving and close this case and told me it is likely the court will decide on the part of "Husband" as quash the Family court Order. The lawyer has lost all interest and will to fight it out in the High court it seems to me.
Maintainance and Permanent Alimony - How much can she expect and What is your opinion in this matter.
What is the best course of action.
Your advice is highly appreciated.
