How much amount of monthly maintenance may be awarded in favour of a wife under Section 125 of Cr.P.C.?
Verified Answer
A. Three hundred rupees
B. Four hundred rupees
C. Five hundred rupees
D. Any Amount
Explanation:
Prior to the 2001 amendment, Section 125 of the CrPC had a maximum limit of Rs. 500 for monthly maintenance. However, the 2001 amendment removed this upper limit, allowing for 'any amount' as deemed fit by the court. The marked answer reflects the post-2001 position.
