Allahabad HC denies maintenance to woman living with second man without divorcing first
The Allahabad High Court dismissed a woman's maintenance claim against Santosh Kumar, a man she had been living with without legally divorcing her first husband, Sharda Prasad. The court took note of the woman's own admission that no Hindu marriage rituals were conducted with Santosh Kumar. Since no valid marriage was established, her claim for personal maintenance was rejected. However, the court upheld maintenance for the couple's daughter, based on evidence from a DNA report. Santosh Kumar's petition was partially allowed as a result of the ruling.
