Impossible For A Middle-Class Woman To Have Even A Square Meal From Paltry Maintenance Amount Of ₹2.5K: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court remarked that a middle-class woman is unable to provide a square meal to her family with a paltry maintenance amount. The judgment pointed to the inadequacy of maintenance amounts provided in divorce or family disputes and called for a reassessment of the financial needs of women, especially those from middle-class backgrounds, in such cases. It underscored the importance of providing equitable financial support for the sustenance of women and children post-separation.
