Section 125 CrPC | Allegations of Adultery Without Proof Cannot Justify Denial of Interim Maintenance : MP HC Indore
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that unsubstantiated claims of adultery cannot override a wife’s statutory right to interim maintenance under Section 125 CrPC. The judgment reinforces that financial support during pendency is a procedural safeguard, not contingent on unproven moral allegations - protecting vulnerable spouses from weaponized accusations in maintenance proceedings.
