Now,  he faces a dowry harassment charge and an extremely difficult task of  arranging Rs 15 lakh. His wife has threatened to ruin his life and the  only way he can save himself is by arranging the huge amount for  divorce. Rs 75 lakh was the price another guy had to pay to his wife to  free himself from the marriage ties and the relationship that was left  only for namesake.<\/p>\n<p> These are some of the many cases that have  come to family court for hearing where the males were being forced to  pay a huge amount only to get divorce.<\/p>\n<p> Atul, 30 (name changed),  an engineer by profession could take divorce from his fitness trainer  wife only after giving Rs 15 lakh along with a pact of life-long  maintenance of child. She said yes for the divorce only after taking the  money. In another case, the girl has asked for Rs 1 crore in lieu of  divorce. Case is still going on in the family court as it is nearly  impossible for the boy&#8217;s side to pay such a huge amount.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;This  has become a sort of trend. Earlier the daughter in laws of medium-class  family would ask for Rs 2 lakh to 3 lakh at the time of separation but  now they demand nothing less than Rs 25 to 50 lakh. Some even go to the  extent of threatening husbands of putting cases of domestic violence and  dowry for extracting money. Boys are actually blackmailed nowadays,&#8221;  said Sangeeta Moharir, a lawyer at Bhopal district court.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;In  genuine cases, the girl herself wants to get free as soon as possible so  money hardly matters for them. But in cases where extracting money is  the sole purpose, girls demand huge compensation from the boys as a  price of their freedom,&#8221; Sangeeta added.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;In around 50% of the  cases, the boy agrees to her demands as he is left with not much choice.  Any guy would prefer paying some money than facing some more criminal  cases against him. Girls often misuse this situation and laws to their  advantage and extract maximum money from husbands, &#8220;said Noorunnisa  Khan, a senior counsellor at family court in Bhopal.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.wakilsahab.in\/news\/pay-for-divorce-women-forcing-hubbies-to-shell-out-big-bucks-for-freedom\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"5\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source-http:\/\/m.timesofindia.com\/city\/gurgaon\/Techie-parents-booked-for-wifes-death\/articleshow\/44472875.cms BHOPAL: Some months ago, Divyendu, 28 (name changed) was struggling with his unsuccessful marriage and wanted a divorce.
