5. However, the opposite party no. 2 has serious complaints with regard to the conduct of the petitioner and hence, she is not agreeable on going back to her matrimonial house.
6. At this stage, the petitioner offers to give Rs.4000/- (rupees four thousand) per month to opposite party no.2 in the first week of every month.
