Allahabad High Court Allows Maintenance Claims After Divorce on Desertion Grounds
The Allahabad High Court ruled that a divorced woman can claim maintenance from her former husband under Section 125 of the CrPC, even if the divorce was granted on grounds of desertion, provided she has not remarried and cannot support herself. The court set aside a family court's rejection of Suneeta's maintenance claim, noting that divorce on desertion does not bar maintenance entitlement. The case involves allegations of dowry harassment and remarriage by the husband, with the matter remanded for fresh consideration.
