Even in smaller cities cases of matrimonial disputes and divorce are rising. The role of lawyers dealing in such cases is very much critical. Such cases require to be dealt in a delicate manner. The approach of a lawyer should be towards providing solution to the parties to matrimonial disputes, so that they can live their life in peace and harmony. The lawyers should refrain themselves from exaggerating the emotions of their clients and should put best of their efforts in finding a solution. The law prevailing in our country is giving lot of empowerment to the weaker section of our society, the women. Under Section 125 of Criminal Procedure Code a married woman is entitled to obtain maintenance from her husband, if she does not have sufficient source of earning to maintain herself. Similarly lot of protections have been given to women under,
