#keralahighcourt

In this crucial legal analysis, we break down the Kerala High Court Judgment in the case of Rajeevan vs. Jeesha (RPFC Nos. 476 & 409 of 2017). This case provides essential clarity on maintenance rights for women under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.).

The husband, a tailor, argued that he was unable to pay maintenance to his estranged wife and two minor children, claiming a very low income. The High Court, however, dismissed his Revision Petition, upholding the principle that an able-bodied person cannot evade maintenance liability simply by claiming unemployment or low income.

Key Takeaways from the Judgment:

Wife's Right to Maintenance: The court confirmed that even if the wife (Jeesha P.) is capable of earning, the husband (Rajeevan M.) is still legally obligated to provide financial support.

Maintenance Amount: The High Court fixed the wife's maintenance at ₹8,000 per month and upheld the Family Court's decision to award ₹6,000 per month to each of the two minor children.

Legal Precedent: This judgment heavily relies on the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Rajnesh vs. Neha, reinforcing the guidelines for awarding maintenance in India.
