FAQ
Q1: What is maintenance in the context of Indian law?
Answer: 
Maintenance in Indian law refers to the financial support provided 
by one spouse to another during or after a legal separation or 
divorce. It is not defined explicitly in the marriage laws of any of 
the religious communities in India. Still, it is a measure to ensure 
that a spouse who cannot support themselves financially is 
provided for. The entitlement to claim maintenance is based on 
the assumption that the claimant does not have sufficient means 
for self-support.
