Karnataka HC: Wife Earning More Than Husband Not Entitled to Maintenance
The Karnataka High Court has ruled that a wife cannot automatically claim maintenance if she earns more than her husband. The court held that financial capacity, rather than gender, should determine maintenance awards. It set aside a family court order granting Rs 20,000 per month in interim maintenance to the wife, noting her monthly income of Rs 1 lakh compared to her husband's Rs 60,646. The ruling is limited to the interim maintenance order and does not affect the final outcome of the case.
