Husband Can’t Claim Exclusive Ownership of Joint Property Even If He Paid EMIs

Marriage is not just an emotional bond – it is also a legal relationship. Recently, a very interesting court judgment caught everyone’s attention: a husband or wife can sue their spouse’s lover for damages if that person is found to have interfered with the marriage.

Recently, the Madhya Pradesh High Court gave a strong message in a case where a husband asked the court to reduce the monthly maintenance he had to pay his wife and children.

A man was accused of rape. Later, the woman said she did not want to continue the case. She gave a written statement saying she had settled the matter peacefully and wanted to move on with her life

In a significant ruling, the Orissa High Court addressed the issue of maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). The case involved a husband challenging a Family Court order that directed him to pay ₹8,000 per month to his estranged wife.
