HC on Maintenance to Married Woman: Karnataka High Court Upholds Reduction of Maintenance Granted to 'Capable' Wife, Says She Can Only Seek 'Supportive Maintenance' From Her Husband

The Karnataka High Court recently said that a "Capable" wife can't sit idle and seek "Supportive Maintenance" from her husband. The High Court made the observation while rejecting a petition filed by a woman who challenged the order of the Appellate court that reduced the maintenance and compensation amount that was granted to her by the Magistrate court. The Magistrate court granted her certain maintenance and compensation after she filed an application under section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The single judge bench of Justice Rajendra Badamikar while announcing the verdict said that the petitioner-wife was working prior to her marriage. The bench further said that there is no explanation as to why she is incapable of working now. "She is not supposed to sit idle and seek entire maintenance from her husband and she is also legally bound to make some efforts to meet her livelihood and she can seek only supportive maintenance from her husband," the court observed. HC on Live-In Relationship: Live-In Relationships Cannot Be at Cost of Country's Social Fabric, Says Allahabad High Court; Denies Protection to Married Woman and Her Lover.
