A Mumbai sessions court increased compensation from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 1 crore for a woman facing 20 years of domestic abuse, calling her husband “crorepati” and “rolling in money.” Monthly maintenance was also raised to Rs 1.5 lakh for her and her daughter.
The Supreme Court has issued notice for a DV case, questioning if compensation in domestic violence cases should align with the harm suffered by victims or the financial status of the accused.
