Earning more than your husband does not entitle you to maintenance: Karnataka HC

A Karnataka High Court ruling states that a wife earning more than her husband cannot automatically claim maintenance. The court emphasized that financial capacity, not gender, dictates maintenance awards. It overturned a family court’s order for Rs 20,000 monthly interim maintenance, citing the wife’s Rs 1 lakh monthly income against the husband’s Rs 60,646. This decision applies only to the interim order, not the final outcome.
