Section 125 CrPC | Purposive Interpretation Allows Maintenance Despite Lack of Strict Marriage Proof : Allahabad HC
Allahabad High Court rules that maintenance under Section 125 CrPC cannot be denied solely due to lack of strict marriage proof if cohabitation, childbirth, and attempted marriage are admitted. The Court emphasizes a purposive interpretation of maintenance laws, remanding the case for fresh adjudication while mandating compliance with Rajnesh v. Neha affidavit guidelines.
