hello everyone i am a law student at nlu.
my issue is that when a wife claims maintenance under section 125 cr.pc then on what basis court confirms that yes she is the legally married wife of the husband.. i think it is confirmed by their registered marriage certificate .
what are the probabilites we can assume that in poor villages marriages would be registered for claiming maintenance and like in the case of smt. sarla v. mahendra kumar woman gets maintenance this is the case of nagaur rajsthan. so what are the probabilites of their marriage being registered....
so can maintenance order can be quashed if marriage is not registered ?
if still a woman can get maintenance without registration of marriage then wouldn't it defeat the purpose of registration of marriage act
please provide a sound and resonable answer .. i appreciate your replies.. thank you.
