Maintenance query

 A spouse who is well qualified to get the service immediately with less efforts is not expected to remain idle to squeeze out, to milk out the other spouse by relieving him of his or her own purse by a cut in the nature of pendente life alimony. The law does not expect the increasing number of such idle persons who by remaining in the arena of legal battles, try to squeeze out the adversory by implementing the provisions of law suitable to their purpose. 

The fact that the wife has deserted the matrimonial house on her own and also she is capable of earning but is not doing so, can be argued under the maintenance case filed under section 125cr.p.c., in an application u/s 24of HMA, the fact that both are living separately and she is not employed are sufficient for the presiding officer to decide about the interim maintenance in favor of the petitioner.
