Can a wife lose maintenance if she has a govt house? Allahabad HC says no
A husband's attempt to deny his wife maintenance by citing her government-allotted house and alleged sewing income has been rejected by the Allahabad High Court. The court clarified that shelter is not a source of livelihood and a roof over one's head doesn't absolve a husband of his financial responsibility. The husband's claims of unemployment were also dismissed, upholding the wife's right to support.
