Indian court: Sustaining high living standard no cause for maintenance

Article here. Excerpt:

'NEW DELHI: Sustaining a high standard of living is no ground for seeking maintenance from an estranged spouse. This is what a Delhi court told a woman who had sought a maintenance of Rs 1 lakh per month from her husband after the couple separated within a year of their marriage.

The woman, who has a permanent job, had sought the allowance "to maintain the same standard of life". Dismissing her plea, the court said that her income cannot be termed insufficient for maintaining herself.

"The provision (of maintenance) cannot be resorted to by one of the litigating parties to enrich itself at the cost of the other.... The applicant was doing the same job during the golden days of their matrimonial life, hence it cannot be concluded that her status is reduced now," additional district judge Rajender Kumar Shastri said.'

When a golddigging biatch gets put in her place, that can't help but put a smile on my face.

Yeah, I know that rhymes, I didn't really intend for it to.

Nonetheless, good article! I think this judge has the right idea.

After all, for a man to have to pay a woman for her having a vagina, whether he's having sex with her or not, is prostitution.

don't seem to mind acting out the part of a prostitute,
such as getting paid ($$$) for pimping out their vagina,
or letting the courts enforce their prostitute status
(alimony, CS, palimony, etc.).

they just don't like having anything to do with any part
of anyone pointing out that obvious truth. their excuses are weak and
tempers always go ballistic. guess the truth hurts their fragile act.
hiding prostitution inside today's temporary serial "marriages"
really only perverts real marriage, if such an animal still exists.

prostitution (Merriam-Webster Online):the act or practice of engaging
in promiscuous relations especially for $$$.

it looks to me like a (very) few judges are trying to
reclaim some small part of the ethics they long ago abandoned
in search of greener ($$$) pastures. too little too late?
most judges and these very real prostitutes have a lot in common.
notice how they both engage in "the act or practice" of selling their souls for $$$.

along these same lines i've heard it said about ethics
being a LOT like virginity. once you lose it ...
