Maintenance is a right to livelihood when one is incapable of sustaining oneself.
Right to maintenance forms a part of the personal law.

Obligation of a husband to maintain his wife arises out of the status of the marriage.

Hindu law, one of the most ancient systems of law, recognises right of any dependent person including wife,children, aged parents and widowed daughter or daughter-in-law to maintenance.
The Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, provides for this right.
