Husband got exparte divorce and application for setting aside exparte decree is pending filed by wife .Wife also filed petition for maintenance under dv act.
My query is whether the suit by wife can be continued and any interim order can be passed against husband till the exparte decree is not set aside.

Until and unless the decree is set aside no DV case lies.
Challenge the maintainability of the proceeding .

the suit by wife can be continued and any interim order can be passed against husband.
Divorced wife is also a Wife, and eligible to get mtn.
Lived in relation also attract DV. , as there was Domestic relationship; whether wife or not, or Divorced or not.
