    The Gujarat High Court dismissed the husband's revision petition challenging the Family Court's maintenance order. The court held that a wife's earning capacity or educational qualifications cannot be the sole ground to deny maintenance, and the husband has a legal and ethical duty to maintain his wife and children regardless of their ability to self-support, citing Supreme Court precedents in *Sunita Kachwaha* and *Rajneesh v. Neha*. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
