Is one time monetary settlement allowed in divorce matters?
11-Dec-2023 (In Divorce Law)
my friend is in the process of a divorce after 15 years of marriage and has no children . His question is .....is a one time lump sum monetary settlement permissible under Indian law or is there a Supreme Court order disallowing one time settlement and insists on monthly maintenance. Both parties are Hindus
One time monetary settlement is permissible under Hindu law as per Sec 24 of The Hindu Marraige Act of 1955.For that the parties have to file a separate application along with a petition for seeking divorce.
Thanks.
Thanks.
One time lump sum monetary settlement is permissible under Indian law and there are no such guide lines over lump sum or monthly maintenance. In case of mutual divorce it easy to acquire lump sum monetary maintenance as there are no further obligation to pay the maintenance every month. In other cases wife can claim monthly maintenance when the divorce case is pending on the ground that she has no actual income on her own and can not live without such maintenance.
You can do so.
Is there any case already filed or pending??
If so u can settle outbof court and pay alimony one time
You can also file a mutual divorce wherr you can state about alimony and pay.
But even aftr divorce the wife can claim alimony
