Alimony not tool to enrich status of 2 capable persons: Delhi HC denies maintenance to financially self-sufficient railway officer

The Delhi High Court ruled that financially self-sufficient spouses cannot claim alimony, emphasizing it's for genuine need, not enrichment. The court upheld a family court's decision denying permanent alimony to a woman and granting divorce to her husband on grounds of cruelty, noting her consent to divorce was tied to a financial settlement.
