Please see
RCC 1999(1) page 51 Raj.HC
-----''-- Page 700 Raj.HC

in both cases mentioned above it has been held that Natayat wife is entitled for getting maintenance

Apart from reply of Pankaj, I want to add that DV Act has given acceptance to such relations and thus such female partner is duly entitled for the grant of maintenance allowance.
