Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the maintenance amount be adjusted later?
- Yes — the amount is modifiable (increase or decrease) when material circumstances change, through a separate Sharia Court case.
- What evidence is required to assess maintenance?
- Bank statement, salary certificate, employment contracts, property documents, children-needs bills, and expert reports when needed.
- Does the judge consider the wife's income?
- Usually not for wife maintenance — her right is fixed regardless of her income. In exceptional cases her income may partially affect the assessment.
