According to a Supreme Court ruling, even if an estranged wife is earning, she can make a claim for maintenance if her income is not sufficient to sustain her. ... Various Acts, such as the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, also ensure that the woman can demand maintenance even if she is separated and not divorced.
