Allahabad HC Denies Maintenance to Earning Wife
The Allahabad High Court ruled that a well-educated wife capable of earning does not qualify for maintenance from her husband under Section 125 of the CrPC. The court emphasized that the law aims to prevent destitution, but since the wife can support herself, her maintenance plea was rejected. The couple married in April 2022, but the wife left soon after and filed a cruelty and dowry case.
