Even wife living in husband's home must get maintenance: HC

Observing that a woman residing in her matrimonial home is entitled to receive maintenance for necessary expenses, Bombay high court upheld an order that directed a man to pay interim maintenance to his wife and minor son. "The mere fact that she is residing in the matrimonial home is not a pretext to disentitle her to a reasonable amount of maintenance. She still needs some amount towards food, medicine, clothes and educational expenses," Justice Neela Gokhale said.
