*• Section 125(4) CRPC Maintenance to deserted wife Once the relationship of marriage comes to end, the woman obviously is not under any obligation to live with her former husband Deeming fiction of divorced wife is treated as a wife can only be read for the limited purpose for grant of maintenance and deeming fiction cannot be stretched to the illogical extent that divorced wife is under a compulsion to live with the ex-husband Husband cannot urge that he can divorce his wife on the ground that she has deserted him and then deny maintenance which should otherwise be payable to her on the ground that even after divorce she is not willing to live with him.[Para 8]*_
