flag Delhi High Court denies alimony to self-sufficient wife, ruling it for need, not equality.

flag The Delhi High Court ruled that permanent alimony cannot be awarded to a financially self-sufficient spouse, stating it is meant as social justice, not financial equalization. flag The court upheld a lower court’s decision denying alimony to a woman who earned a high income as an Indian Railways officer, noting she had no financial need despite a 14-month marriage. flag The husband’s divorce petition citing cruelty was deemed credible, and the wife’s demand for ₹50 lakhs during proceedings was seen as financially motivated. flag The court emphasized that alimony requires proof of genuine need and cannot be used as leverage, affirming that judicial discretion must be based on evidence, not speculation.
