Section 125 CrPC | Marital Discord Justifies Separate Residence and Maintenance: MP HC
Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that a wife's separate residence due to marital discord under Sections 498-A and 506-II IPC does not disentitle her to maintenance under Section 125 CrPC. The court set aside the Family Court's mechanical dismissal and remitted the matter for reconsideration, emphasizing the wife's valid reason for living apart.
