WOMEN’S RIGHTS OF MAINTENANCE IN INDIA
**Abstract:**
This study examines the rights of maintenance for women in India through a blend of legal analysis and human narratives. It navigates the statutory framework—incorporating provisions from the Hindu Marriage Act, the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, and pertinent judicial decisions—to illustrate how the law seeks to secure economic dignity and stability for women after marital discord. The analysis not only delves into legislative texts and case law but also humanizes the discussion by reflecting on the lived challenges many women face in accessing these rights. By highlighting both progressive reforms and persistent societal barriers, the paper argues that while legal mechanisms offer a vital safety net, they must be continuously refined to address issues of enforcement, social stigma, and economic dependency. Ultimately, the study advocates for a more empathetic and robust legal framework—one that recognizes maintenance not just as a statutory obligation but as a fundamental right ensuring dignity and equitable support in a rapidly evolving society.
In exploring these dimensions, the discussion invites further reflection on how legal reforms can be more closely aligned with the real-world experiences of women, bridging the gap between theoretical rights and everyday realities.
