FACTS OF THE CASE-
The husband is appealing the Family Court ruling that awarded the wife and kid monthly support under Section 7 of the Family Courts Act, 1984.
On August 24, 2002, the wife submitted a support request, stating that the husband had abandoned her and their son, who was still a juvenile and had married another lady. The husband refuted the accusations and stated that he had legally divorced the wife in 1998 by issuing a talaq and had since provided for her mehr and maintenance following Islamic law. The Family Court ruled that the husband had failed to establish the legitimacy of the divorce and that, following Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, he was required to pay maintenance to the wife and son.
From the date of the order, or August 24, 2011, the Family Court granted the wife Rs. 3000 per month and the kid Rs. 2000 per month. The husband appealed the Family Court’s decision to the Supreme Court because it had legal and factual errors, had been unfairly delayed, and had granted too many adjournments.
