The Delhi High Court recently said that a wife cannot be disentitled from claiming any maintenance merely because she seeks divorce after having left the company of her husband for sufficient reasons. The high court bench of Justice Amit Mahajan further stated that merely because the wife is educated cannot be a ground to deny her maintenance. The court observed while dismissing the plea moved by a husband challenging a family court order passed in November 2022. The family court had awarded monthly maintenance of INR 5,500 to the wife. The state's top court further directed that the maintenance amount will be increased by 10 per cent after every two years in view of the inflation.
