The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, deals with subsistence allowance in Section 5.
This section of the Act, which criminalizes the practice of triple talaq, grants a married Muslim woman the right to receive a subsistence allowance from her husband. This allowance is for herself and her dependent children. The provision ensures financial support for women who are victims of instant triple talaq, which was declared a cognizable and non-bailable offense under the law. The right to a subsistence allowance is a key feature of the Act's protective measures.
