You know what's trending on social media? The Rohini Court's recent ruling that a husband cannot unilaterally withdraw from maintenance for his estranged wife. It's like a scene from the Bollywood movie, Badhaai Ho. The husband's excuse, "I'm tired of living alone," is a classic one, but the court was not buying it.

Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act is clear - a husband has a duty to maintain his wife, even if they're separated. The court has consistently held that a husband's refusal to do so is not a valid reason for termination of maintenance. This ruling is a win for women's rights and a reminder that courts are not going to tolerate any nonsense from errant husbands.
