Just because a husband is a 22-year-old electrical engineering student doesn't mean he can skip out on supporting his wife, according to a recent ruling by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which dismissed his case. The court pointed out that he can't claim he is unable to support his wife due to financial constraints as long as he has the ability to earn.
The high court also said that being in school doesn't excuse him from his legal duty to maintain his wife, as this obligation is absolute and stems from their relationship.
