2023 7 Supreme 248 : Under Section 125(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1908, a Hindu wife (including a daughter-in-law) is entitled to maintenance from her father-in-law if she is unable to maintain herself out of her own earnings or property, and the father-in-law has the means to provide maintenance from coparcenary property. The court has held that a daughter-in-law can seek maintenance from her deceased husband''''s father-in-law (i.e., the widowed mother-in-law is not directly liable, but the father-in-law is), provided the conditions of inability to maintain herself and the father-in-law''''s means are met. The court emphasized that the obligation arises only if the father-in-law has the means from coparcenary property and has not already provided a share to the daughter-in-law. The obligation ceases upon the remarriage of the daughter-in-law.Checking relevance for Vimalben Ajitbhai Patel VS Vatslabeen Ashokbhai Patel and others...
2008 2 Supreme 413 : Under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, a mother-in-law cannot be legally liable to maintain her daughter-in-law from her own property or otherwise. The obligation to maintain a daughter-in-law arises only upon the death of the husband, and even then, it is the father-in-law (if the husband was a co-sharer in his father’s property) who bears the liability, not the mother-in-law. The Act explicitly states that the mother-in-law cannot be fastened with any legal liability to maintain her daughter-in-law.Checking relevance for Vijaya Manohar Arbat VS Kashirao Rajaram Sawaii...

2000 3 Supreme 505 : Yes, a widowed daughter-in-law can claim maintenance from her father-in-law under Section 18 of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956, provided she is unable to maintain herself out of her own earnings or other property and cannot obtain maintenance from her husband''''s estate, her son or daughter, or her father or mother. This right is specifically recognized in the legal documents, which state that a widowed daughter-in-law has a legal right to maintenance from her father-in-law if she is destitute and has no other source of support. The documents further clarify that this right is not limited to the father-in-law''''s personal liability but extends to the estate of the deceased father-in-law, which can be enforced against the heirs of the estate.Checking relevance for G.

2022 0 Supreme(Chh) 315 : Under Section 19 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, a widowed daughter-in-law is entitled to claim maintenance from her father-in-law if she is unable to maintain herself from her own earnings, other property, or from the estate of her husband, father, or mother. The court emphasized that the widowed daughter-in-law has a preferential right to claim maintenance from the estate of her husband before claiming from her father or mother. In this case, the court held that the widowed daughter-in-law was entitled to claim maintenance from her father-in-law after being deserted by her in-laws following her husband''''s death, as she was unable to maintain herself and had not received any property from her husband''''s estate or her parents.
