“Ensure women receive maintenance ”

NEW DELHI: The National Commission for Women has recommended necessary amendments to the maintenance clause (Section 125) of the Criminal Procedure Code to ensure that the affected women receive money without interruption. With the Domestic Violence Act coming into force, the Commission also wants women who are in a live-in relationship to be made eligible for maintenance as they are covered under the new law.

The recommendations would be sent to the Supreme Court for necessary guidelines and the Centre to make changes in the law, NCW chairperson Girija Vyas told reporters here on Wednesday.
