Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between wife maintenance and ʿidda maintenance?
- Wife maintenance is paid during the subsisting marriage; ʿidda maintenance is paid to the divorcée only throughout her ʿidda period. Their timing and basis differ fundamentally.
- When is provisional maintenance imposed?
- The court imposes it during the underlying maintenance case to protect the entitled party from destitution. It is adjustable when the final ruling issues.
- Does past-due maintenance lapse with time?
- No — past-due maintenance remains a judicially claimable debt and does not lapse by ordinary prescription except within specific legal limits.
