RIGHT OF HINDU WOMEN TO CLAIM MAINTENANCE AND PROPERTY

The maintenance laws for women in this country are separated into two categories: one deals with maintenance after a divorce or other matrimonial remedies, and the other deals with maintenance during the marriage's subsistence period. The major goal of this article is to clarify the purpose of maintenance, which is to prevent immorality and preserve women's and children's dignity. The necessity of alimony, as well as the support of a wife, widow, or dependant under the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act 1956, is discussed in this article. The rights of Hindu women to claim property are also discussed in this text.
