Maintenance is financial support provided to a spouse or child during or after divorce. It can be claimed under various laws:

Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure: Courts decide maintenance based on income, needs, and lifestyle for a spouse, child, or parents.

Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act: Either spouse can seek maintenance during divorce proceedings based on financial need.

Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (Section 20): Women can claim maintenance, including monthly payments or one-time compensation, to cover living expenses and support, regardless of divorce status.

Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 (Section 18): A Hindu wife can claim maintenance from her husband if he abandons her, neglects her, or converts to another religion, ensuring her lifelong support if conditions are met.

Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 (Section 3): A divorced Muslim woman can claim maintenance for herself and her children for up to 90 days post-divorce, or longer if she is pregnant or has no means of support.
