Delhi High Court rules that a husband's duty to financially support his wife persists even if she earns independently.

The Delhi High Court ruled that a husband’s duty to financially support his wife continues even if she can earn independently. Dismissing the husband's appeal, the court emphasized that labeling a wife as a "parasite" is an affront to women. The ruling, which recognizes the wife as a victim of domestic violence amid her husband's infidelity, mandates monthly maintenance payments and compensation for emotional distress, citing legal protections for women and children.
