Maintenance

Greetings!

As per sub-section 4 of section 125 of CrPc, no wife shall be entitled to receive maintenance allowance from her husband under this section if she is living in adultery. The factor to consider the woman’s income is also discarded if adultery is in the picture. Desertion and wilful refusal on part of the wife disrupts the obligation of the husband to provide maintenance. It, however, needs to be proven so that the wife has put forth unnecessary conditions and constraints to live together or refused out rightly.
You may approach a higher court through appeal.

You have to prove adultery if you fails maintenance will be allowed ,allegation is only allegation ,u have to prove in court of law that she is in adultery and not entitled for maintenance .

Hello,

Wife living in adultry is not entitled for maintenance. You have to prove the same before court. It is good ground for divorce. 

Ask your Advocate to file a restitution of conjugal right application before the Court. Aside file revision application to set aside the interim application.

Hello,

You cannot directly go to the high court. You will have to challenge the lower court order in the sessions court on the ground stated by you of adultery. The court will pass the order as per your case. 

Dear Mr Dey, 

What I could understand is that your wife is living in adultery and she does not want to live with you but the court has granted here maintenance under section 125 Cr PC. This is possible only in 2 situations:-

1. Either you did not raise the point of adultery in court   OR

2. You were not able to prove the allegation of adultery before the court. 

II must inform you that an appeal against 125 cr pc is not maintainable. The aggrived person can only file a revision either before the Session Court or the High Court under Section 397 Cr PC. 

In case you have not raised the allegation of adultery in trial court, the same is going to be very very difficult to be admitted in revision. In case your advocate is able to, hats off to him and your good luck. 

In case you did raise the issue and also adduced the evidence, but the rtial court did not appreciate it, then you may have a chance.

Dear Mr Dey, 

As on date you only an option to file Revision Application (Not review) before the Session Court or High Court (as per your choice). But if i were to advise you, you may apprach the session court due to costs involved.
