KOLKATA: The Calcutta High Court has ruled that a daughter separated from her husband will not be entitled to share in the family pension of her maternal family in case the divorce happens after the death of her father.
The order, passed by a division bench of Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Partha Sarathi Sen on Monday, was uploaded on Tuesday morning.
The division bench was of the view that if the daughter was dependent on her father till the day of his death, she could be given a pension. But if, at the time of her father's death, she was dependent on her husband, she was not entitled to get the pension if she returned to her father's house after getting divorced.
