Can a wife lose maintenance if she has a govt house? Allahabad HC says no
A husband's attempt to deny his wife maintenance by citing her government-allotted house and alleged sewing income has been rejected by the Allahabad High Court.

The husband's claims of unemployment were also dismissed, upholding the wife's right to support.
