If a person makes a statement in the court and thereafter does not comply with it or when a person is directed by the court to do something and the said directions are not followed by the person then the same amounts to contempt of court.
In matrimonial cases both the parties have to follow with the directions of the court and comply with the statements made by them in the court of law. There have been cases for instance wife is directed or has made a statement in court that she will allow the child to meet his father, but she refuses to do so and father stops the maintenance of the child which leads to filing of contempt or execution by the wife which does not succeed as in this situation both the parties have not complied with the orders or their statement and it is the wife who has not complied first.
