Chapter 1.1.11: Free Legal Advice to “Lord” Brahma

Lord Brahma, who has only one temple in the world at Pushkar in Rajasthan, has approached a local court in temple jurisdiction area through the mahant (priest) of the temple, seeking maintenance from his consort Savitri. Lord Brahma has demanded offerings of five days every month as maintenance. The mahant of Goddess Savitri temple, however, has been opposing the petition on the ground that it is the husband, who should pay heed to maintenance of his wife.

Free Legal Advice to “Lord” Brahma

As per the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, only wife can seek maintenance; so, in the above litigation, “Lord” Brahma is bound to lose. However, if he files for divorce, he can seek maintenance on passing of the divorce decree under Sec 25, the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. However, he should first give a chance to reconciliation.

Note: All pray for the happy married life of Lord Brahma.
