A Sessions Court in Ahemdabad has said that those who look down upon women posting on social media & active in social service by associating themselves with people of a political party need to change their mentality in today’s time.
The Court deprecated the mentality of considering women active in politics & on social media as inappropriate & suspecting them of having loose character. A City Sessions Court made these observations while upholding a lower Court’s direction to a man living in Dubai to pay maintenance to his estranged wife under the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act. The husband had taken objection to his wife taking selfies with politicians & posting them on social media, but the Court discarded the contention stating that this cannot be the basis of his suspicion of his wife’s character.
In this case, the couple got married in 2008. After the birth of a daughter in 2010, the wife returned to her parental home & the husband went to Dubai & began working in a firm as a clerk. The woman filed a complaint in Metropolitan Court under the DV Act and sought maintenance from the husband, who opposed the demand alleging that his wife left the matrimonial home on her own volition. When it came to payment of maintenance, the husband argued that his wife is found in the company of politicians of the ruling party & through her activities, she seems to be earning well.
The husband placed his wife’s photos shared by her online with an MLA on the occasion of her birthday. He accused his wife was living an immoral life. The wife alleged that she was forced out of the matrimonial home after the birth of a daughter, as her in-laws wanted a son.
In Feb, the Metropolitan Court ordered the husband to pay Rs 10,000 to his wife & daughter. The husband challenged this order before the Sessions Court, which confirmed the decision.
