Reading: My husband filed for divorce in September 2010. I responded with a domestic violence case in January 2012 and started a new job in February. I left this job in October 2012. The court awarded me â‚¹15,000 in maintenance on October 25th, 2012. However, my husband learned about my job and appealed the decision. Can I still receive maintenance, even though I have an MBA degree?

Under Indian law, your MBA degree doesn’t automatically disqualify you from receiving maintenance. The court will consider your earning capacity, your husband’s income, and the circumstances of your separation, including the domestic violence case, when deciding on maintenance.
