The AIMPLB convened a meeting on Sunday to discuss the Supreme Court's order and deliberate on the legal options available.
The contentious issue of Muslim women getting maintenance under secular provision of section 125 of CrPC had taken centrestage of political discourse in 1985 when a constitution bench in Mohd Ahmed Khan versus Shah Bano Begum case had ruled that Muslim women were also entitled to maintenance.
The Supreme Court on Friday gave a final opportunity to a man to clear Rs 2.6 crore arrears of maintenance, along with monthly maintenance of Rs 1.75 lakh, to his estranged wife, failing which he may be sent to jail.
A family court in Muzaffarnagar has ordered a woman, who is a government pensioner, to pay a monthly maintenance allowance to her husband, following a petition filed by the latter in this regard.
The Supreme Court has set a benchmark for alimony to be paid by a husband to his separated wife, stating that 25 per cent of his net salary might constitute a “just and proper” amount of alimony, says a Times of India report.
