In India, a female citizen holds the right to maintenance under law. It is her right even without divorce. As per the ‘Hindu Marriage Act’ a legally wedded wife holds right for maintenance as the provision for financial support. Apart from the wife, children and parents are also entitled to the financial support, depending on the nature of the case.
Neglected wives can seek maintenance from their husband under Section 125 of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), 1973.
The term ‘Maintenance’ is referred to define an integral process of an Indian Matrimonial Proceeding. As per the law, either of the spouses holds rights to move ‘Application for Maintenance’ based on their financial condition. One who does not have the sufficient means to maintain him/herself is eligible to file for an application.
The Indian Law Categorized Maintenance’ in Two Ways:-
Interim Maintenance – This kind of maintenance is provided while the case is still being fought in the court. The basic idea of providing an interim maintenance is, to avoid any one of the parties lose the case and render on a weaker footing while contesting the case.
Permanent Maintenance – This maintenance is awarded when the entire case reaches a final decision. The court may decide to offer periodical or monthly depending upon the facts and circumstances of the case.
