The Calcutta High Court has issued a new ruling that significantly raises the monthly maintenance payments cricketer Mohammed Shami must provide to his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, and their daughter. Previously set at ₹1.3 lakh, the court has now increased the total amount to ₹4 lakh per month. This decision allocates ₹1.5 lakh to Hasin Jahan and ₹2.5 lakh to their daughter, reflecting the court’s recognition of the financial needs of both parties despite Jahan’s own income. The court’s decision underscores the principle that a wife’s independent earnings do not eliminate her entitlement to financial support from her spouse, especially when considering the welfare of their child. This ruling is part of an ongoing legal battle between Shami and Jahan, which has drawn significant public attention due to Shami’s high-profile career in cricket. The increase in maintenance is intended to ensure that both Jahan and her daughter can maintain a standard of living commensurate with Shami’s financial capabilities. The court’s decision highlights the importance of providing adequate support to ensure the well-being and stability of children involved in such disputes. This case also sheds light on broader issues related to spousal support and child maintenance in India, where courts often have to balance the financial capabilities of both parties with their respective needs. The ruling may set a precedent for similar cases, emphasizing that financial relief should be fair and reflective of the current economic circumstances of all involved.
