About Me

Some years back, I was sucked into the labyrinth of Indian Matrimonial laws and a false 498a in particular. To be fair, before it hit me, it was difficult for me to fathom the wide spread misuse of dowry laws and specially 498a in India.

Sample Application for Lowering Maintenance u/s DV 25(2)

Lockdown because of Corona Virus has impacted business and industry in a manner, that it is difficult to predict when income levels will reach the levels we saw just before Covid19. However, people whose maintenance has been fixed prior to lockdown may suffer more. They may have to pay maintenance on their income levels which were before Lockdown.

Fortunately all acts provide for alteration, modification or revocation of Maintenance if change of cirumstances so warrant. Section 25(2) of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 is one such section which can be used if you have been saddled with maintenance under Domestic Violence Act.

The section reads:

Section 25(2) in The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005
(2) If the Magistrate, on receipt of an application from the aggrieved person or the respondent, is satisfied that there is a change in the circumstances requiring alteration, modification or revocation of any order made under this Act, he may, for reasons to be recorded in writing pass such order, as he may deem appropriate.
This means that if there is change in circumstances of you the respondent, like you have lost your job, your income has been reduced, you have suffered heavy losses in business due to covid 19, you can put an application in the concerned court for modification/ cancellation of Maintenance.

So if you fall in the category who have lost job or have significant loss of earnings, you shall put an application to the court for alteration, rescinding, cancellation of maintenance. One should put this application as soon as court opens.
