Signed away maintenance agreement? HC says wife can still claim more; heres why

A wife can still seek more maintenance money even after signing a waiver agreement for a lump-sum payment. The Punjab and Haryana High Court ruled that such agreements go against public policy. The court stated that a Rs 60,000 waiver was insufficient. The wife's inability to maintain herself, despite past work, allows her to claim maintenance.
