Domestic Violence Act | Employment Income Does Not Bar Monetary Relief Under Section 20 : Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench
Bombay High Court clarifies that a domestic violence victim's employment income, such as honorarium from Anganwadi work, does not disqualify her from claiming monetary relief under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. The ruling reinforces that compensation is based on losses suffered, not the victim's financial independence.
