#child education expenses

MP High Court rules that maintenance awards under Muslim personal law must account for urban educational expenses, enhancing monthly support for minor children to reflect real-world costs. The judgment sets a precedent for family courts to consider inflationary and location-specific expenses in maintenance calculations.

Madhya Pradesh High Court enhances maintenance to ₹10,000/month for a wife and mandates direct payment of a minor child's educational expenses, rejecting the husband's claims of financial incapacity despite his rental income and multiple properties. The ruling reinforces that maintenance under the Family Court Act must reflect the wife and child's reasonable needs, not just the husband's stated income.
