Delhi court: Maintenance payments cannot exceed a husband's financial capacity
A Delhi court has ruled that a man cannot be compelled to provide maintenance to his estranged wife if the amount exceeds his financial ability. The case arose after a woman contested a magistrate's decision that granted her ₹1,840 per month in accordance with the Domestic Violence Act. On September 1, the Delhi court clarified that maintenance amounts must be determined based on the husband's actual or estimated earnings.
