Explanation:
Section 125(1)(b) of the Criminal Procedure Code includes 'his wife, unable to maintain herself' and 'his divorced wife, who has not remarried' as persons entitled to maintenance. A woman living in adultery or living separately by mutual consent is generally not entitled to maintenance (Section 125(4)). A mistress is generally not covered.
