Question

A husband agreed to pay to his wife certain amount as maintenance every month whilehe was abroad. Husband failed to pay the promised amount. Wife sued him for the recovery of theamount. Decide as per the Indian Contract Act, 1872 whether the suit by wife is maintainable?

Answer 1

operations consisting solely of the owner—or they have a small number of employees—and many of these small businesses offer an existing product, process or service and they do not aim at growth. In contrast, entrepreneurial ventures offer an innovative product, process or service and the entrepreneur typically aims to scale up the company by adding employees, seeking international sales and so on, a process which is financed by venture capital and angel investments. In this way, the term "entrepreneur" may be more closely associated with the term "startup". Successful entrepreneurs have the ability to lead a business in a positive direction by proper planning, to adapt to changing environments and understand their own strengths and weakness.

Answer 2

Answer:

According to section 39 of Indian Contract Act, 1872 when a part refuse to perform or disabled himself from performing his promise in its entirety, the promise may put an end to the contract, unless he has signified by words or conduct, his acquiescence in its continuance.

Explanation:

In this case also if husband has refused to pay his wife, so its his choice and he want to continue giving then he can pay that maintenance and hence suit by wife is not maintainable.
