Does one need to pay alimony in case of a chronic illness
Answers (4)
It is nothing like that as you are worried about the compensation payable to your brother's wife. Early because your brother is suffering from kidney ailment, his wife has no right to seek compensation. It is a good idea to go for mutual consent and better negotiate with the opposite side and make it Rs.3.00 lakhs or whatever amount you feel justified. If your brother is impotent and the fact is suppressed at the time of marriage, perhaps they may have a case to seek compensation depending upon their status. More over it should be medically proved that your brother is unfit or impotent or having erection problems, etc to consummate the marriage. As I said kidney failure is no ground for divorce or for demanding compensation.

Talk to a real lawyer about your legal issue.

Madam,
Their claim is unsubstantiated and a mere threat. Alimony and Maintenance is governed by various factors and it depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. You need to take the right legal steps to protect the interests of your brother and to safe guard your family from any wrongful prosecution and harassment. I would need more relevant information to advise you the right course of action. Please get in touch with me so that I may do the needful.

Hello Sir,
Alimony needs to be paid to a person when she isn't able to maintain herself. When the woman is qualified enough (you haven't mentioned your brothers wife educational qualification) and she doesn't get employed deliberately with an intention to secure maintenance order from court, her maintenance petition can be dismissed as per recent supreme court order. In your case, since your brother isn't able to maintain himself and is in the care of his father will be given due consideration.
