The mother asked the court to send her husband to jail as he failed to pay her for her maintenance.
It is said that in the fight between a husband and a wife, it is always the kids who suffer the worst. In an unfortunate incident, a 3-year-old girl was on Thursday sent to an orphanage as her mother refused to take her custody and father was sentenced for 300 days of imprisonment for having failed to pay maintenance to his wife.
The mother asked the court to send her husband to jail as he failed to pay her for her maintenance. However, after sending the husband to jail, when the question of the custody of their daughter arose, she refused, saying she cannot afford. Even the parents of the man refused to take care of the girl. After continuous discussions and argument since last week on the custody of the girl, the family court on Thursday was left with no other option but to send the girl to an orphanage.
Ranison Thakor and Snehal Thakor, residents of Bapunagar, have been fighting their divorce case. The family court in Ahmedabad had ordered Ranison to pay for maintenance to his wife. However, Ranison failed to pay the amount for 30 months.
The principle judge of family court, BM Karia, on October 13 sent Ranison for judicial custody for 300 days.
The court had to stay its order at 11pm as the parents of Ranison also refused to take the custody of the girl. Ranison was soon released from the jail and was handed over the girl by the police.
The court gave time to Ranison either to pay the amount or arrange for the custody of the child. He failed to do the both. While he could not arrange for the money, none of the family members or friends came forward to take the custody of the girl.
After the release of Ranison, the court again asked Snehal to take the custody of the girl. She refused to take the girl's custody and on Tuesday moved an application to send Ranison to jail. She reasoned that she cannot take the custody of her child as she has two younger brothers and a mother to feed. Instead, she said that Ranison is just delaying the payment and taking the shield of the daughter so that he does not need to go to jail and he would not pay for the maintenance.
Meanwhile, Ranison pleaded that he cannot pay the amount as he has no resources and is unemployed at present. He agreed that he soon would pay the amount but the custody of the girl meanwhile be given to Snehal.
However, when both the parents and the family members refused to take care of the girl, the court finally in the interest of the justice, ordered to send the three-year-old girl to an orphanage. Ranison was sent to jail.
