The Allahabad High Court in a recent judgement ruled that in situations where a qualified wife who is capable of earning more than enough but still refrains from doing so only to impose a burden upon her husband, the Courts can deny her maintenance under Section 24.
The ruling came in a case involving a wife who is a M.D. (Gynaecologist), and her husband, a Neurosurgeon. The couple, residents of Prayagraj, have three children (two daughters and a son). Their identities have been withheld by the court to protect their privacy.
