Two daughters born from the said wedlock, who are aged 11 years and 6 years, are in the care and custody of the applicant, at present. Also, it is submitted that the applicant is not working and as such, has no source of earning. She is totally dependent upon her parental family. Even, she has filed the petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C., which is pending in the Courts at Moga and the respondent is making appearance in the same. In the given circumstances, it is submitted that it is difficult for the applicant, to commute a distance of about 85 kilometres, to defend the divorce petition, more particularly, while she is not having any source of earning and taking care of two minor daughters.
In view of the submissions aforesaid and considering the fact that generally the Courts lean towards the convenience of wife in case of transfer applications relating to the matrimonial disputes, more particularly, when the respondent has not come forward to resist the application; considering the applicant to be taking care of two daughters, while not having any source of earning; and also considering the distance between the two stations, the transfer application is allowed and !"" ! #
