Punjab: Man wants to sell kidney to pay alimony to WIFE

TNN Aug 27, 2009, 01.56am IST
CHANDIGARH: Unable to pay maintenance to his wife, a man has approached a court in Punjab to allow him to sell his one of his two kidneys so that he could pay up.

The Ropar resident, who found the sum stipulated by the court way beyond his means, filed an application under section 125 of CrPC (order for maintenance of wives, children) in the court of the judicial magistrate on August 22, seeking permission to sell his kidney to pay Rs 8,000 as interim maintenance to his wife.

Narrating his ordeal in the application, he said the court had ordered him to pay his wife a monthly interim allowance of Rs 3,500 under CrPC and another interim maintenance of Rs 4,500 per month under the Domestic Violence Act. Denying any permanent means of livelihood, he said he found it difficult to sustain himself as his small monthly earnings made up for only Rs 3,600 per month.

Despite his meagre income, the man tried to pay maintenance to his wife regularly. But, under the circumstances, he is left with no option but to sell his body organs.

This infographic [click here for hi-res] is lifted from the pages of a May, 2007 issue of Esquire Magazine. The work of designer Peter Grundy, it provides the price in pounds sterling for every salable flap, fold, limb or organ on (or inside of) the human body.

“Today’s scientists have rejected graverobbing in favour of human tissue recovery agencies, companies that collect and supply body parts for research,” reads the original, annotated diagram.

“Since the UK’s Human Tissue Act 2004 clarified the law, tissue recovery has become a lucrative and (mostly) legitimate industry, turning over millions of pounds a year.”
