An abandoned wife can claim maintenance from her estranged husband even if she is educated and employed. There is a logical economic line defining the situation
Slamming a petitioner who refused to pay maintenance to his wife and daughter claiming he was on study leave, the Madras High Court said his duty to them cannot take a back seat
In an important ruling, the Uttarakhand High Court has decreed that despite a minor living with his father, it was the duty of the mother to contribute to the maintenance and education of the minor when she had the financial means to do so
A single-judge bench of Allahabad High Court while hearing an Appeal filed by Rama Nand dismissed the appeal saying that the Magistrate has the power to enforce an order of maintenance passed under Section 125 CrPC by issuing a warrant to the Collector to recover the same as arrears of land revenue.
