01Maintenance kya hoti hai
Maintenance (bharan-poshan) wo raashi hai jo ek vyakti apne aashrit parivaar ko deta hai taaki wo apna jeevan garima ke saath chala sakein. Yeh monthly bhi ho sakti hai aur kuch maamlon me ekmusht (one-time) bhi. Iska maqsad kisi ko kamzor sthiti ka faayda uthaane se rokna hai.
Maintenance aur alimony thode alag hain: maintenance aam taur par regular support hai, jabki alimony talaaq ke samay tay hone wala settlement ho sakta hai. Dono me court dono paksh ki income aur zaroorat ko dekhti hai.
02Kaun maintenance maang sakta hai
Aam taur par yeh log maintenance maang sakte hain:
- Patni: jo khud ko sambhalne layak nahi kamati, apne pati se.
- Bachche: naabaalig bachche, aur aise bachche jo kisi wajah se khud nahi kama sakte.
- Maa-baap: buzurg ya asamarth maa-baap apne kamane wale bachchon se.
Kuch law dharm par depend karte hain, lekin BNSS Section 144 (pehle Section 125 CrPC) har dharm par laagu hota hai, isliye yeh sabse aam aur tez raasta maana jaata hai.
03Kaunse law ke tahat maintenance maang sakte hain
India me maintenance kai law ke tahat maangi ja sakti hai. Aap apni sthiti ke hisaab se chunte hain:
| Law | Kiske liye | Khaas baat |
|---|---|---|
| BNSS Section 144 (pehle Section 125 CrPC) | Patni, bachche, maa-baap (har dharm) | Tez aur aam raasta; magistrate court |
| Hindu Marriage Act, Section 24 aur 25 | Hindu patni ya pati | Case ke dauraan (interim) aur permanent alimony |
| Domestic Violence Act, 2005, Section 20 | Pidit mahila (patni/partner) | Monetary relief ke saath suraksha order |
| Special Marriage / anya personal laws | Us law ke tahat shaadi karne wale | Alag shartein aur forum |
Kai baar ek hi vyakti ek se zyada law ke tahat claim kar sakti hai, lekin court doosre me diye gaye amount ko adjust kar deti hai taaki dohri vasooli na ho. Vistaar se samajhne ke liye Section 125 CrPC maintenance dekhein.
04Kaunsi court aur petition kaise file karein
Court is baat par depend karti hai ki aap kaunse law ke tahat claim kar rahe hain:
- BNSS Section 144: petition magistrate court (Judicial Magistrate) me jaati hai.
- Hindu Marriage Act: Family Court ya district court me, aam taur par talaaq ya judicial separation ke case ke saath.
- Domestic Violence Act: Magistrate ke saamne, suraksha aur monetary relief ki arzi ke saath.
Jahan Family Court ho, wahaan shaadi aur maintenance ke maamle wahin jaate hain. Petition me aap apni zaroorat, apni income (ya income na hona), aur saamne wale ki kamane ki kshamta saaf batate hain. Maintenance petition file karne ka vistrit tareeka maintenance petition kaise file karein me diya gaya hai.
05Documents aur interim maintenance
Petition ko mazboot banane ke liye yeh taiyaar rakhein:
- Shaadi ka proof (marriage certificate ya anya), aur bachchon ka birth certificate.
- Apni income, kharche aur zaroorat ka vivaran.
- Saamne wale (jaise pati) ki income ka koi bhi proof: salary slip, ITR, property, business.
- Domestic violence ho to uska medical ya police record.
Interim maintenance zaroor maangein
Maintenance case saalon chal sakta hai, isliye shuru me hi interim (beech ka) maintenance ki arzi dein. Court case ke dauraan hi masik raashi de sakti hai, taaki aapka kharcha final order tak ruke nahi.
Court dono paksh ki income aur jeevan-star ko dekhkar uchit raashi tay karti hai. Amount ghata-badha bhi ja sakta hai agar haalat badle.
06Order enforce kaise karein
Agar maintenance order ke baad bhi saamne wala bhugtaan nahi karta, to aap use enforce kara sakte hain. BNSS Section 144 jaise provisions me court recovery ke liye warrant jaari kar sakti hai aur na maanne par jail bhej sakti hai.
Aap arrears (bakaya raashi) ki recovery ke liye arzi de sakte hain, aur court salary attachment ya property se vasooli ka order de sakti hai. Enforcement ka vistrit tareeka maintenance order enforcement kaise karein me diya gaya hai. Der mat karein, kyunki bakaya jitna lamba hoga, vasooli utni mushkil ho sakti hai.
