ABSTRACT
Maintenance is the financial support provided for by the spouse in the circumstances when the spouse is unable to financially support themselves after the breakdown of marriage, separation, or during the subsistence of marriage under the court’s discretion in order to ensure that the spouse is able to avail the basic amenities required to ascertain a certain lifestyle. Although each religion has laws pertaining to maintenance support, the laws pertaining to maintenance vary for different religions, and this also holds true for the Hindu and Muslim maintenance. This paper explores the Hindu and Muslim maintenance laws while comparing and analyzing them.
