The Bombay High Court, while quashing the order of the sessions court refusing maintenance to a second wife by the husband, held that it was not required for the woman to prove her marriage through documentary evidence, if the couple lived together.
The woman had challenged a 2005 order of the Kolhapur sessions court, which had, while allowing the maintenance of Rs500 to the daughter, turned down that of the woman on the grounds that the husband was already married and his spouse was alive.
