WHILE dealing with a case involving child marriage and a maintenance claim against a minor husband, the Allahabad High Court has held that application under Sections 125 and 128 Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) seeking maintenance against minor was maintainable.
Upholding decision of a family court for maintenance against minor husband, the HC, however, reduced the amount of maintenance.
