| Decision |
The Family Court's decree regarding the maintenance allowance was upheld with modifications. The divorced wife was granted maintenance of Rs.800 for the period of Iddat, and the minor was entitled to Rs.3000 per month until the age of majority. The court also allowed additional expenses for delivery and treatment. The appeals from both sides were heard, with the respondent's appeal being partially allowed and the petitioner's appeal dismissed as without merit. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around family law matters, specifically concerning maintenance allowances following a divorce. The Lahore High Court reviewed the Family Court's decision, which had granted a divorced wife a modest maintenance sum and addressed the needs of a minor child. The court emphasized the father's responsibility to provide for the child's basic necessities amid rising costs. The judgments highlighted the importance of fair financial support in family law cases, ensuring that children are not left vulnerable post-divorce. The court's decision to increase the maintenance for the minor child reflects an understanding of the economic pressures faced by families today. This case serves as a significant reference for future family law proceedings, particularly in matters of maintenance and child support. |
