As the child has not yet been born, no domestic violence can be committed upon it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No maintenance can be claimed on behalf of a person who is not in existence on the date of filing of the application,&#8221; the magistrate said.<\/p>\n<p>While dismissing the application, the court accepted the contention of the woman&#8217;s husband, a resident of South Delhi, that his income was lesser than the woman who was concealing some of her income from it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The medical expenses of the complainant (woman) and her family, including expenses to be incurred on the delivery of the child, are already covered by the employer of the woman&#8230; application of woman under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence (PWDV) Act is dismissed,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>The woman, in her complaint, had alleged her husband, within a month of marriage, started forcing her to pay Rs 80,000 as rent to her mother-in-law for living in the matrimonial house. She also alleged her husband abused her physically and mentally when she was seven weeks pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>Her husband, however, denied all allegations and said the woman used to lavishly spend his hard-earned money. He contended that even when he was going through a rough patch professionally, she pushed him to spend money beyond his means so that she could boast about it socially.<\/p>\n<p>The court noted that the woman revealed her annual income as Rs 21 lakh while her husband was earning Rs 4.5 lakh per year which was &#8220;much less than the income of the woman&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The court also accepted the contention of the husband that the woman was earning Rs 12,000 from a rented accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>The magistrate, while refusing the woman any interim relief, also said &#8220;the allegations and cross allegations cannot be decided at this stage&#8221; and fixed the matter for hearing in the case in December.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No maintenance can be claimed for an unborn foetus as it is currently not in existence, a Delhi court has said while denying a pregnant woman&#8217;s plea seeking interim relief from her estranged husband in a domestic violence case.
