Maintenance application against minor husband maintainable, rules HC

Upholding decision of a family court for maintenance against minor husband, the HC, however, reduced the amount of maintenance.

The HC observed that a husband, a minor at the time his wife sought maintenance, could not be compelled to pay allowance for that period, but would be considered liable once he attained majority.
