Maintenance of women under Personal Laws: Issues and concerns
Authors
Virender Negi, Prachi Sharma
Abstract
It is important to
comprehend how women are maintained under numerous personal laws, including
Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Parsi law, as well as how our nation's secularism
affects personal laws. Hindu females are subject to two different categories of
maintenance legislation in India. The first class of marital remedies takes
into account support after a divorce or other dissolution of the marriage, such
as nullification. The second type entails support throughout the duration of
the marriage. A better economic situation for women and children is a priority,
as is preventing immorality and reducing poverty. Maintenance claims on behalf
of a wife, parent, “or child are permitted under Section 25 of the Hindu
Marriage Act of 1955, Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and the Hindu
Adoption and Maintenance Act of 1956. Alimony and other forms of financial
assistance for a spouse or dependent are examined in an attempt to clarify the
scope of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act of 1956.”
