The husband filed a divorce petition, and the wife sought maintenance. The Family Court refused pendente lite maintenance since she had no other responsibility and was earning Rs 20 lakhs per annum herself through her employment. Aggrieved, she filed the present petition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The wife alleged that the husband was earning Rs 30 lakhs per annum and that her salary had reduced to Rs 14.81 lakhs per annum.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that there was no error in the jurisdiction or reasoning in the impugned order because, as per the admitted income of the wife, her monthly income would be Rs 1.66 lakhs, and even if it had been reduced, it would still be 1.25 lakhs. Additionally, she had no child to maintain, and there was no such financial disparity between the couple, as their incomes were comparable to each other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"animate-charcter\"
