SC: Providing for Wife and kids is the sacrosanct duty of the husband by any means, even if he must do “physical labor”
SC rules in favor of a woman who approached the apex court after fighting a legal battle for maintenance for around a decade after she left her matrimonial home in 2010. The Supreme Court bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Dinesh Maheshwari, on October 5, 2022, while hearing a plea of a husband who plead that he was incapable of providing maintenance to his wife and kids as he has no source of income, has opined that the husband is required to earn money “even by physical labor” as it a husband’s duty to provide for his wife and kids by any possible means.
