Yes. Agree with mr.barman. Even supreme court says a wife wantonly keeping her self away from maternal house mean she not entitled to claim maintenance..

For example.. In that case, wife filed a petition for divorce in the grounds of cruelty.. But before court of law cruelty not proved.. Petition dismissed.. Even though she was living away from her maternal house.. Subsequently she filed a maintenance case.. Maintenance allowed by trial court.. And confirmed by high court. But the land mark view given by the honourable supreme court..

Wife can get maintenance anyway from the date of marriage

Shaadi aik aisa laddu hai jo khaye woh bhi pachchtaye, jo na khaye woh bhi pachchtaye.

Once you have established relationship, you have to maintain that in one or the other form, either by keeping her with you or by paying her to live in separation.
