(SECTION – A) (04X15)
1. Madeeha has filed Domestic Violence case in her native place at a distance of 250 kms
against all the family members of husband (Ansar) with false and immoral allegations. So he
divorced her by pronouncing single Talaq in presence of two witnesses and sent the
talaqnama and she acknowledged it. She has also challenged validity of the Talaq by filing a
civil suit in native place and he (husband) submitted statement for it and matter is pending
trial.
During Domestic Violence trial she has not proved any allegations except that he failed to
maintain her and children after she left the matrimonial home. Hon'ble Magistrate considered
this as mental cruelty and awarded maintenance of Rs 14,000 pm against his salary of 42,000
along with arrears of 3 lakh rupees and discharged his parents and sisters from the case as the
allegations against them are baseless.
The husband has contended that she has left his house during her 7th month of pregnancy by
conducting ceremony and he provided photo proof for the same and she stayed at her own
will and against his consent at her parents’ house for 1 year even after the child delivery with
an intention to intimidate him to set up separate home away from my old aged parents. She
also attended mediations prior to the filing of her Domestic Violence case but no where she
raised any allegations as stated in Domestic Violence petition.
The Court has not considered the overall facts and circumstance of the case and stated that she
was subjected to domestic violence because of non maintenance of her and children when she
was staying a her parents’ house and stated that it is continuing offence even though no act of
violence was proved when she was in at her husband’s home. Also he told that Talaq is under
challenge so she is entitled to maintenance and further stated that it is the responsibility of the
husband to maintain them and he failed to do it.
