Maintenance to Wife -- Prior Marriage of Husband -- Not a ground to deny maintenance under Section 125 CrPC
Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, S.125 -- Maintenance to Wife -- Prior Marriage of Husband -- In proceedings under S.125 CrPC, marriage need not be proved with the same strictness as in a trial for an offence under S.494 IPC -- A claim by the husband of an existing legal marriage with another woman cannot by itself be a ground to deny maintenance to the wife -- Where testimony of the husband regarding paternity of the child is inconsistent and contradictory, an adverse inference may be drawn against him.
