Section 125 CrPC - Is Maintenance Allowance Enough?

crpc_bnss ailet advanced discussion

Kya maintenance allowance hi zindagi ke liye kafi hai? Section 125 CrPC mein darja di jaye hai ki patnee ko maintenance ke liye 3000 Rs ek mahine ke liye mil sakti hai. Lekin kya yeh sabse chhote ghar ka ek mahine ka kharcha hi nahin hai? Main khara hai ki is section mein badalta hua hona chahiye aur patni ko adhik allowance milni chahiye.

Main kya keh raha hoon? Section 125 CrPC mein maintenance allowance ko 50% income se kam ke liye 5000 Rs ke liye badhaya jaye. Yeh kya sach hai?

Agreed, Section 125 CrPC is a vital provision for maintaining the dignity of divorced women, children, and elderly dependents. However, I'd like to highlight a point - the maintenance allowance can be increased if the court deems it necessary. It's essential for family courts to consider the rising cost of living and income of the payer while determining the allowance.

Ek sawaal bahut achchha hai. Section 125 CrPC mein maintenance allowance ki limit bahut kam hai, especially apne state ke according. Yeh mere mat lab hai, but ek average maintenance allowance 1000-1500 rupees per month ka hi hota hai. Yah kya hamaare samaj mein ek decent life jeevana ke liye kafi nahin hai. Aapko lagta hai ki is problem ka hal kaise hoga? Kya hamen iska koi andaa change hona chahiye?

Section 125 CrPC ko lagu karne ke baad maintenance allowance ki koi guarantee nahi hai. Yeh court ki discretion mein hai. Aur isme maintenance ko fix karne ke liye kuch criteria hain, jaise family's lifestyle, income aur expenses. Lekin maintenance allowance kam ho sakta hai, agar kisi ka khayal hai ki yeh unka hukum hai toh court mein appeal kar sakte hain.
