Abstract

The right to seek maintenance is recognized under various laws. Each one is different from one another. Maintenance in most cases is due to the fact of marriage. Family ties and obligations, whether more or less, call for maintenance. To obtain maintenance litigation takes the shape of legal battle in various countries and it is also in India. The government tries to solve the problem by passing certain legislative acts. Statutory Acts try to solve the problem of wives, children, and old parents who cannot maintain themselves as they have no income sources of their own. Maintenance provisions among various communities in India and Bangladesh are enshrined in the personal laws and statuary laws for Hindus and Muslims. Concerning Parsis, Jews and Christians followed the common law of England along with equitable relief of equity, justice and good conscience. This article examines the implementation of maintenance laws for women in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom, highlighting key legislative frameworks and judicial interpretation.
