Whether wife can be denied maintenance on ground that in law

Whether wife can be denied maintenance on ground that in laws are acquitted in dowry demand case?

Acquittal of the petitioner and his family members in
dowry demand case is no ground to deny maintenance to the
wife and the child. The petitioner cannot be absolved of his
liability to maintain the wife and the child on this score. The case
in hand is required to be decided on the preponderance of
probabilities and no strict standard of proof is required to be
proved.
