What the court was looking at
The ground pleaded was adultery.
The point of interest
Chhattisgarh HC held wife who is divorced on ground of adultery as proved by husband cannot claim maintenance under Section 125 CrPC; adultery ground for divorce is also bar to maintenance claim; 2025.
How it fits the framework
Since Rajnesh v. Neha in 2020, every maintenance order in India is meant to work through the same list of factors: the standard of living the marriage ran at, what the applicant reasonably needs, whether she is qualified and earning, and whether she gave up work for the family. A judgement from 2025 was decided before that list was written down, but the reasoning behind it is the reasoning courts had been applying for decades. There is a fuller account in how maintenance is calculated.
The calculator walks the same factors a magistrate does, then shows you the judgements nearest your facts.
