Who can seek maintenance under CrPC 125?
22-Feb-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Under Section 125 CrPC the court, after looking into the facts and circumstances of the matter, may order any person, who despite of having sufficient means neglects or refuses to maintain
- his wife, who is unable to maintain herself
- his legitimate or illegitimate minor child, whether married or unmarried
- his legitimate or illegitimate child (not being a married daughter) , who has attained majority but is incapable of maintaining himself/herself due to physical or mental abnormality.
- his father or mother, unable to maintain himself or herself.
The amount of maintenance or monthly allowance may or may not be decided by the court depending on the financial condition of the person.
The court may order the father of a minor female child to make such allowance, until she attains majority, if the court is satisfied that the husband of such minor female child, if married, is not possessed of sufficient means.
