The Chhattisgarh High Court upheld a Family Court ruling directing a father-in-law to provide maintenance to his widowed daughter-in-law and her minor daughter. The bench affirmed that the statutory obligation applied despite his appeal before the judges today.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court held that children should not be required to attend courtrooms merely for visitation purposes, stressing that such environments can be intimidating and emotionally distressing for minors. The Court remarked, “The Courts should be the last resort for a child to visit because courts are often seen as intimidating, sterile, and stressful environments that can scar a child emotionally.”
