Maintenance under Section 20 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 may be granted:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 20(1)(d) permits maintenance under or in addition to an order under CrPC Section 125 or another law. An existing order therefore does not bar the application; Rajnesh v Neha requires disclosure and adjustment of overlapping maintenance awards to avoid double recovery. Divorce is not a prerequisite.
Current law: BNSS Section 144 corresponds to CrPC Section 125.
