1. Payable till remarry.
2. Payable by husband.
3. Husband can seek visiting rights.
4. Children have right on self acquired property of father if expires without a will.
5. Is to be executed.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 08 October 2014
since the marriage is reported to have been solmenised as Muslim personal law and its religious customs, marriage is bound to the said law alone. However the wife and children are entitled to maintenance u/s 125 Cr.p.c. For further actions on it, a local lawyer may be consulted with the facts of the case for relief and remedy.
