Bombay High Court Denies Maintenance to Wife Living Abroad Due to Sufficient Income
The Bombay High Court has denied a woman's request for interim maintenance from her estranged husband, ruling that her choice to live abroad does not justify the claim. The woman, a qualified professional residing in the U.S., sought Rs 1 lakh per month, citing high living costs. However, the court noted her substantial income and financial independence, rejecting her plea. The decision emphasizes that maintenance under the Hindu Marriage Act is intended for spouses without independent means, not to maintain a previous lifestyle.
