The Supreme Court recently held that an able-bodied husband is duty-bound to maintain his wife and minor child even by doing physical labour and he cannot shirk that responsibility saying he has no source of income.
The High Court bench at Nagpur has remitted the matter back to the Family Court after it noted that the court decided divorce plea before deciding wife's maintenance application.
The Court, however, allowed the prayer to grant maintenance to her two children and ordered the husband to pay ₹20,000 per month towards the same.
