The Supreme Court recently enhanced the interim maintenance order of a woman who is educated from 9,000 to 25,000 INR. The High Court had rejected the woman’s plea to enhance the order of maintenance to deal with her day to day expenses on the grounds that the woman was well-educated and she was capable of maintaining herself and 9000 was sufficient interim maintenance but the Supreme Court, on the other hand, enhanced her maintenance amount to Rs. 25,000 thereby implying that the husband has to pay maintenance even if wife is well educated under the DV Act.
