In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court has affirmed that a Muslim woman can file for maintenance against her husband under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). The Bench dismissed a petition challenging a family court's directive for interim maintenance to a divorced Muslim woman. The Court clarified that the Muslim Women Protection of Rights on Divorce Act does not override the secular maintenance laws. The ruling ensures that Muslim women have the same rights to maintenance as women from other communities.
