Kerala HC upholds ₹10k monthly maintenance for ex-wife of paralysed man who said he married only for a maid

SUMMARY
The Kerala High Court upheld a Family Court order directing a paralysed man to pay ₹10,000 monthly maintenance to his ex-wife. The man admitted he married solely to get a caretaker/maid for himself. The court ruled the wife deserved maintenance despite the husband's disability, noting his admission proved the marriage was exploitative. The woman was treated as a domestic helper rather than a spouse, strengthening her claim for financial support after separation.
