Regarding a Muslim wife’s right to maintenance, which of these statements are correct?
(i) The liability of a Muslim husband to his divorced wife to pay maintenance is not confined to the iddat period.
(ii) A reasonable and fair provision extending beyond the iddat period must be made by the husband within the iddat period.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Both statements are correct. Under Section 3(1)(a) of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, the husband must make reasonable and fair provision for his divorced wife’s future within the iddat period. That provision includes maintenance extending beyond iddat; the time for making the provision does not limit the period it must cover.
