Husband, being an able-bodied man, is obliged to earn by legitimate means and maintain his wife and the minor child, the Court said.
The Supreme Court recently held that an able-bodied husband is duty-bound to maintain his wife and minor child even by doing physical labour and he cannot shirk that responsibility saying he has no source of income [Anuj Garg and Another v. Deepak Kumar Garg].
