Arguments on maintenance

At the time of hearing of an application under section 24 of HMA, no cross examination of husband or wife is being taken by the Court.  Application by wife and reply by husband are considered.  Two points are considered one - expenses incurred by wife for her maintenance, her source of income if any, husbands income, his liabilities and persons depending on him and the suitable amount of maintenance is considered by the Court.
