Wife can’t claim maintenance solely because she chose to live abroad: Bombay HC

 The Bombay high court rejected a wife’s plea for interim maintenance. She sought one lakh rupees monthly from her estranged husband. The court noted her substantial professional income and residence abroad. Simply citing high living costs abroad was deemed insufficient grounds. The ruling emphasized maintenance is for financially weaker parties needing support. The Bombay high court rejected a wife’s plea for interim maintenance.
