Can a wife receive maintenance from her husband if she does not adhere to the cohabit decree according to the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has ruled that a wife is entitled to maintenance from her husband even if she does not abide by the cohabit decree.
- According to the Supreme Court ruling, a wife is entitled to maintenance from her husband regardless of whether she adheres to the cohabit decree.
- The court recognizes that maintenance is a right of the wife based on the principle of providing financial support after divorce or separation.
- The decision to award maintenance is not contingent upon the wife's compliance with any specific conditions or decrees.
- The court considers factors such as the wife's financial needs, the husband's ability to pay, and any other relevant circumstances in determining the maintenance amount.
- Therefore, even if the wife does not adhere to the cohabit decree, she may still be granted maintenance by the court based on her individual circumstances.
