Compiled by C.ARUNO, FARIK ZOLKEPLI AND R.ARAVINTAN

A COURT in Maharashtra, India, rejected a woman’s appeal that her husband sending money to his mother and spending time with her was marital abuse, Malaysia Nanban reported.

The woman who was identified as a high-ranking officer in the state government secretariat got married in 1993 and separated from her husband in 2014.

In her petition to the court, she claimed that her husband, who was working overseas for the first 11 years of their marriage, kept sending to his mother money for medical expenses.

He also spent a lot of time with her, which led to issues in their marriage, the wife claimed.

The Mumbai Magistrate’s Court which heard the petition, ruled that it was her abuse towards her husband that led to their divorce.

The court pointed to the husband’s suicide attempt and other incidents in their marriage as evidence of her abuse.

The judge ruled that the woman failed to prove that the husband’s actions were tantamount to domestic abuse.

> SJK (T) Ladang Lima Belas in Hulu Selangor is left with just four pupils and five teachers for the 2024 school year, Makkal Osai reported.

There has been no new enrolment in Year One for the new term.

The school had more than a hundred pupils at one time, but the number has been below 10 pupils for the past few years.

Like many other estate schools, SJK (T) Ladang Lima Belas has suffered from low enrolment as families from the plantations moved away for better opportunities.
