This document discusses child maintenance under Indian law. It addresses maintenance for minor and major children, whether legitimate or illegitimate, and the factors considered such as the child's gender, religion of the parents, and marital status of the parents. A key case discussed is Hira Lal V. Saheb Jan where a woman applicant was granted maintenance for her illegitimate child despite being kept out of the house two years after their relationship. The document raises the issue of whether a woman of bad character is entitled to maintenance for her illegitimate child.
