·1 views
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that a woman who was unaware of her husband's existing marriage is entitled to maintenance under Section 125 of the CrPC. The court found that the woman had been deceived into the marriage through deliberate concealment of the husband's prior marital status. The judgment reinforces legal protections for women who enter marriages in good faith without knowledge of a spouse's existing union. The ruling highlights that such deception does not strip the second wife of her right to financial support.
