No on the said ground maintenance cannot be canceled because it is the bounded duty of the husband to maintain the wife. Wife may be well qualified and before marriage she was working are not criteria to cancell the maintenance.

Sir,
Before the marriage, wife was a qualified teacher,what is the status of the wife after the marriage? If she is still working as a teacher and getting a handsome salary, then the question of maintenance will not arise.

The maintenance can be rejected only if it coyuld be proed that the wife now earns a handsome earning. Her previous employment would be of no use. The period of separation wouls also be not counted.
