Delhi High Court Rules: Earning Wife Deserves Fair Alimony, Increases Husband's Payment

• A wife approached the Delhi High Court against a Family Court's interim alimony of Rs 2500 per month.
• The wife claimed her husband, a graduate and private school teacher, earns Rs 25,000 salary plus Rs 45,000 from tuitions, shop, and rent.
• The husband alleged the wife earns Rs 10,000 as an NGO teacher, but provided no proof, and her bank statements showed no salary transactions.
• The High Court noted the husband's lack of complete bank statements and the wife's lack of independent income proof.
• Considering financial status and husband's earnings, the Delhi High Court increased the interim alimony to Rs 3500 per month.
