Allahabad High Court Grants Maintenance to Woman in Void Marriage Case
The Allahabad High Court ruled that a woman unknowingly married to a man with an existing marriage is entitled to maintenance under Section 125 CrPC, despite the marriage being void. The court dismissed the husband's petition challenging the maintenance order but partly allowed the wife's request to increase the monthly maintenance from Rs 6,000, citing the husband's government job and income of around Rs 50,000. The judgment emphasized that the husband cannot benefit from concealing his prior marriage.
