Allahabad High Court Affirms Husband's Maintenance Obligations in Two Cases
The Allahabad High Court has reinforced a husband's legal and moral duty to financially support his wife and minor children. In one case, the court cited the Manusmriti and Supreme Court rulings to direct a bank employee to pay 25% of his gross salary as maintenance. In another, it ruled that a husband's claim of unemployment does not exempt him from paying maintenance, emphasizing his capacity to earn and the wife's financial dependence. Both rulings uphold maintenance obligations under Indian law.
