 of the Petitioner. (Annexed hereto marked as Exhibit – A is a Xerox copy of the
said ‘Wedding Card’ of the Petitioner and Respondent).
2. That the Petitioner and the Respondent, before and during their married life and till
to date are Hindus. Both the Petitioner and Respondent are domiciled in Rajasthan,
India, since their birth to till to date. The Petitioner was spinster, and the Respondent
was bachelor’, their marriage.
3. That the Petitioner and Respondent cohabited and lived together at A 302, CBD
Society, Jaipur – 122001, for past 6 months and they resided together in this very
house, which is within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court.
4. That the Respondent soon after the marriage demanded the dowry from the
petitioner and made her life miserable by abusing and torturing her mentally and
physically.
5. That the Petitioner was asked to wake up at 4 am in the morning to the household
chores and was beaten by the Respondent’s mother when the same was not
followed. The Petitioner was treated as a Servant. The Petitioner because of this
cruelty and torture filed a FIR in the XYZ Police Station under section 498 A and
406 of the IPC on 4th April 2020.

matrimonial house, without any lawful reason and since then, the Respondent has
deserted the Petitioner and even not looking after the maintenance and welfare of
her.
7. That the Petitioner is unable to generate sufficient sources of income to meet even
the basic necessity for survival due to illiteracy, lack of technical qualification, and
unemployment. In other words, the Petitioner is undergoing and experiencing acute
financial crises and has become totally bankrupt resulting in the Petitioner’s
undernourishment and incessant starvation. The Petitioner is unable to maintain
herself and her old parents and they are even deprived of basic necessities of life
for survival and could evidently foresee that her and her parent’s welfare, growth
and survival are in the dark side of the human life. That the parents of the Petitioner
are old and not very well off to maintain her and on the other hand is unemployed.
The aforesaid atmosphere and situation are not at all conductive for happy and

8. That the Respondent is strong built healthy and able young man aged 30 years and
possess sound mind and is also financially sound and is a businessman, carrying a
business in textile and earning a handsome amount of Rs. 75,000/- per month. The
Respondent also has invested in shares of various companies, owns immovable
property and have a lot savings in the bank. From which he earns good amount of
returns in the form of interest, rent and dividends and overall, his income becomes
more than Rs. 1,00,000/- per month.
 9. That it was the bounded duty of the Respondent to maintain the said Petitioner from
his sources of income since the date of throwing out the Petitioner from the
matrimonial house i.e. 5th April 2020 but has failed to do so. Hence it is incumbent
upon the said Respondent to pay a sum of Rs. 20,000/- per month towards monthly
‘Maintenance’ to the said Petitioner.
10. That the Petitioner respectfully submits that taking into due thoughtfulness of the
aforesaid facts and circumstances and stubborn and negative acts of the aforesaid
Respondent and the unlawful deprival of maintenance to the Petitioner for past 1
month, the petitioner prays before this Hon’ble Court, for the following relief :-
“Pending the hearing and final disposal of this petition, the Respondent be directed
to pay Rs. 10,000/- towards maintenance of the said Petitioner from the date of
