Wife/Children's Right To Maintenance In Case of Marital Disputes.
Islam has given great importance to the wife's right to maintenance by her husband. It is legal and moral duty of the husband to maintain the wife and children to the best of his capabilities and resources. If some marital disputes erupt between husband and wife and they are not living together, the wife can sue the husband in court of law for her and/or the children's maintenance. The court would decide as to how much maintenance is enough for the maintenance but would also keep in view the behavior of both the parties as well as resources of the husband. The wife can ask the court the past as well as future maintenance from the husband.
