Husband left job to take care of parents, still ordered to pay maintenance: Why Allahabad HC granted Rs 15,000 monthly payment to employed wife

The Allahabad High Court upheld a Rs 15,000 monthly maintenance order for a wife, despite her Rs 11 lakh annual salary. The court emphasized that a wife's employment doesn't automatically disqualify her from maintenance, especially when there's a significant income disparity and she cannot maintain her previous standard of living.
