Karnataka High Court Awards Rs 25 Lakh Permanent Alimony in ‘Dead Marriage’ Case

The Karnataka High Court has ruled to award a permanent alimony of Rs 25 lakh to a wife in a case described as a ‘dead marriage’. The decision cites the husband's failure to provide financial support and the lack of any marital relationship. The award is intended to compensate the wife for her loss of marital benefits and to ensure she is not left destitute. The ruling underscores the court’s willingness to enforce financial obligations even when the marriage has effectively ended.
