🏛️ Bai Bhanbai Mavji vs Kanbi Karshan Devraj (1970): Maintenance Rights & Presumption of Marriage | Void Marriage Case Law Explained
________________________________________
🧾 Description
In this video, we analyze the landmark Gujarat High Court judgment — Bai Bhanbai Mavji vs Kanbi Karshan Devraj & Anr (AIR 1970 Guj 137) — which shaped the law on maintenance rights under Section 488 CrPC (now Section 125 CrPC).
Justice N.G. Shelat ruled that a woman in a void marriage (contracted while her earlier husband was alive) cannot claim maintenance as a "wife" under the CrPC. However, children from such a relationship remain entitled to maintenance.
💡 The case forms a foundational precedent in matrimonial jurisprudence, later influencing Supreme Court rulings like Yamunabai Anantrao Adhav v. Anantrao Shivram Adhav (1988) and Savitaben Somabhai Bhatiya v. State of Gujarat (2005) — before evolving further in Sukhdev Singh v. Sukhbir Kaur (2025), which recognized protection even for women in void or voidable marriages.
🎓 This episode also presents the defense compendium strategy — how the wife could have invoked:
• Presumption of Marriage (Evidence Act §114)
• Burden of Proof on Husband
• Constitutional Equality (Art. 15(3), 21)
• Natural Justice and Social Equity
Ideal for law students, researchers, advocates, and moot court participants studying matrimonial law, maintenance rights, and legal evolution in India.
