Supreme Court orders salary deduction for estranged wife's support

The Supreme Court of India has ordered a man to have ₹25,000 deducted from his salary each month to support his estranged wife and their daughter. This decision came after the husband ignored previous orders to provide financial help since they separated in 2022, leaving the court no choice but to step in and ensure the payments are made directly to his wife.
