The petitioner owns a Hyundai EON car and a smartphone of Samsung yet, he wishes to peg the maintenance of the respondent to Rs.4,000\/- (before this Court Rs.5,000\/-) i.e., less than half of the sum he allegedly spends on his old parents. A growing child and a mother who is taking care of all the needs of such a growing child is to somehow manage with Rs.4,000\/-, whereas the petitioner and his parents can have a greatly enhanced level of comfort by spending Rs.25,000\/- to Rs.28,000\/- on themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">such an attitude is shameful no husband or a father must deny a fair standard of living for a wife who is a homemaker and their child of tender age<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that matrimonial relationships can come to an end for a variety of reasons including ego clashes. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The creation of Family Courts, the entire set up of Counseling Centers, and the availability of mediation whether before litigation or during litigation, are all intended for a more amiable and less torturous resolution of matrimonial and family problems<\/span>. To deny maintenance to an estranged wife and child is the worst offence, even from a humanitarian perspective. Yet, it is a sad truth that husbands force their wives to file execution petitions to delay payments, even after a court of law has determined her entitlement, albeit, even if as an interim measure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court dismissed the petition directing Rs 20,000 to be paid to the respondent wife as maintenance on the next date of hearing before the Family Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Pradeep Kumar v.
