In a recent ruling, the Karnataka High Court has emphasised that a wife cannot seek maintenance when engaged in an adulterous relationship with another person. The decision came as the court dismissed a woman's revision petition, which aimed to secure financial support under Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The court pointed to clear evidence indicating the wife's involvement in "extramarital affairs" with a neighbour with whom she was residing. The court firmly stated that when adultery is evident, the wife's entitlement to maintenance does not apply. 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.
