Unemployment is not an excuse to avoid the maintenance unless the wife is employed.

A husband, whether employed or unemployed, has to pay maintenance to a wife u/s 125, provided the wife is also unable to maintain.

The husband is bound to protect the wife by all means. Unemployment is not an excuse.

Only un-employment is no ground for escaping from maintainence.
