The law providing financial support to wives, children and parents was implemented to maintain equality and not promote idleness, the Delhi high court held while upholding a city court's order denying maintenance to a woman from her estranged husband.
NEW DELHI:
Section 125 of the CrPC, now replaced by section 144 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), enables wives, children or parents to claim maintenance in case a person with sufficient means neglects or refuses to maintain them.
A bench of justice Chandra Dhari Singh in his verdict delivered on Wednesday, opined that qualified wives capable of earning a livelihood should not remain idle solely to gain maintenance from her husband.
