Qualified but not working? HC denies maintenance to doctor wife, says she cant burden husband

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that a qualified wife, capable of earning but choosing not to work solely to burden her husband, can be denied maintenance. In a case involving a Gynaecologist, the court upheld the denial of interim maintenance, citing her ability to earn over Rs 31 lakh annually, as per her income tax returns.
