flag A Delhi court ruled a non-earning wife is entitled to interim maintenance, recognizing homemaking as valuable work.

flag The Delhi High Court ruled that a non-earning wife cannot be denied interim maintenance due to her education or earning potential, stating that managing a household and raising children are valuable contributions. flag Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma emphasized that unpaid domestic labor is not idleness and that bank transfers from husband to wife do not count as her income. flag The court upheld a monthly award of ₹50,000 for the wife and ₹40,000 for their child, ordered arrears paid within six months, and rejected arguments that personal loans or EMIs reduce maintenance obligations. flag It stressed the husband’s ability to pay based on his income and savings in Kuwait, urged mediation in child-involving cases, and clarified the ruling applies only to interim maintenance.
