Even if Indian husband is dying, and jobless, he has to pay money to wife

Normally Indian courts treat husbands like free ATM machines. Even if the husband is jobless, courts routinely tell husbands to pay money to wife. The directive of courts is "Beg, Borrow, or Steal" (BBS), but pay your wife. The courts are very ruthless in this regard.
Recently  an HIV positive gentleman, who is jobless, was ordered to pay maintenance to his wife. Even though the gentleman had produced diagnostic reports, the courts didn't budged from their BBS motto. The gentleman is incurring a monthly expense of Rs.3900. And still he was ordered to pay Rs. 5000 per month to his wife.
Please don't ask sensible questions like, in such moments, the court is expected to show a humane approach to the husband. The Indian court expect that till a husband is alive, he has to support his wife, by ANY means. The husband had subjected himself to examination. But the courts refused to do that, and passed a merciless order, directing him to pay money. No mercy, for husbands, even if they are on their deathbed.

Below is the court order

prove various illness certificates.

Mere producing of Petitioner's bills do not show that they refer
to the Petitioner or that the monies are paid by the Petitioner.
The prescriptions for these medicines would also have to be
proved.
3. The Petitioner is an Engineer.  He was working and earning
a salary of Rs.19,000/­. That has been discontinued being his

  2. Why are the Indian courts so merciless and inhuman towards husbands when passing orders and always tilted towards wives just because she is a woman? No justice for innocent husbands and in-laws but al favors for lying wives and her parents.

  3. Dec 19, 2012, Did the husband infected the wife? If he did not, then the court is wrong, but if he did, then he need to pay his wife allowances.

    1. Dear Nayan, Lets not presume, husband infected wife. It could as well be the other way round. If the wife infected husband, will the wife be liable to pay to the husband ?
