What the court was looking at
By the date of the petition the marriage was 36 years old.
What makes it worth reading
Wife filed maintenance application after 36 years of marriage; husband earning 40000/month cannot be absolved of obligation; 5000/month interim maintenance upheld.
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 2022 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.
