·1 viewsThe Bombay High Court has enhanced the monthly maintenance awarded to a wife, setting it at Rs 20,000. The court ruled that holding educational qualifications alone is not sufficient grounds to deny a woman financial support. It noted that the husband failed to provide any evidence substantiating his claims that his wife was employed. The court also found no proof that the wife had voluntarily left a job in order to claim maintenance. The final amount was determined after considering the husband's income and the expenses involved in raising the couple's child.
