A. Dear client,
Section 18(3) of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act 1956 clearly states that a wife indulged in the relationships of adultery could not be entitled to ask for maintenance. The word ‘unchaste’ refers to relating to or engaging in sexual intercourse activity or especially of an illicit or extramarital affair. A wife indulged in unchaste activity is denied for the claim of maintenance.

As per section 7(2), where the performing ceremonies include Saptapadi, which means taking seven rounds in front of the holy fire, i.e., ‘Agni’ in the ma ...ReadMore
