The Orissa High Court recently said that if the husband indulges in character assassination of his wife without producing proof regarding infidelity, then it is sufficient ground for the woman to live separately. The high court also said that the woman shall not be debarred from claiming maintenance as per Section 125(4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The court observed while upholding the order of maintenance passed by the Family Court. "It is quite natural for a wife to refuse to live with her husband who doubted her chastity, inasmuch as the chastity of a woman is not only dearest to her, but also is a priceless possession in her. Thus, when the character of wife being doubted by her husband without any proof, she has enough reason to live separately from her husband," the single bench of Justice Gourishankar Satapathy said. ‘Justice Is Blind but Judges Are Not Sightless’: Orissa High Court Warns Lawyer After Murder Convict’s Brother-in-Law Submits Fake Certificate To Show Juvenility of Accused.
