AHMEDABAD: In a landmark judgement, the Ahmedabad Family Court on Monday ordered a woman to return Rs 15lakh alimony amount to her husband because she has refused to sign divorce papers.Noting that turning hostile after receiving money is a serious matter, the court asked the woman to either deposit the money to court registry or divorce her husband. "If the woman agrees to divorce her husband then she will get the money or else the court registry will give the money back to her husband. This judgement will prove to be an eye opener for the women who misuse law," Advocate DK Jain told iamGujarat.com The court has ordered her to return Rs 15 lakh in full by June 10. "If she fails to return the money, it will be considered as contempt of the court," Jain said.Paresh Lalwani (name changed), a resident of Kubernagar, Ahmedabad settled down in Dubai for job. But the twist came when Rani demanded more money and refused to divorce Lalwani even after receiving full amount.Courtesy: iamGujarat
