The Madhya Pradesh High Court recently said that a wife can only be barred from getting maintenance on the ground of adultery if she is living in adultery at or around the time when she files a plea seeking maintenance from her husband under Section 125 of CrPC. The high court bench of Justice Prakash Chandra Gupta observed while upholding a family court order that directed a man to pay maintenance to his former wife. In his plea, the man alleged that his estranged wife was having an affair with another man and was, therefore, not entitled to claim any maintenance. However, the court dismissed his argument after noting that there was nothing to show that his wife was living in adultery when she filed the claim for maintenance. HC on Dowry: Madhya Pradesh High Court Quashes Case Against Husband’s Relatives Citing Lack of Date and Time of Dowry Demand in Woman’s Allegations.
