Wife can get maintenance even if no settlement: HC
Hindustan Times|December 31, 2024
The Delhi high court has held that a wife can claim interim maintenance under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act (HMA) even if she does not act upon a settlement with her husband that sought to finalise the maintenance terms. In its December 16 verdict (released later), the court clarified that an unimplemented settlement cannot deprive a spouse of their statutory rights.

A bench comprising justices Rekha Palli and Saurabh Banerjee, in its December 16 order, observed, "The said settlement having not been acted upon, the same could not be treated as binding either on the appellant (wife) or the respondent (husband)."
