Chapter VIII - RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN CERTAIN MATTERS AND PROCEDURE FOR ATTACHMENT AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY (From Section 111 to Section 124)
Alteration of maintenance allowance permits magistrates to vary or cancel monthly maintenance orders upon changed circumstances or divorce. Magistrates may vary or cancel monthly maintenance or interim maintenance ordered under section 144 upon proof of changed circumstances; they must also cancel or vary orders when a competent Civil Court's decision requires it. Orders favoring divorced women are cancellable upon remarriage, upon receipt of the full customary or personal law divorce payment (with specified timing), or upon voluntary surrender of maintenance rights. Civil Courts decreeing recovery of maintenance or dowry must account for sums already paid or recovered under such monthly allowance orders.
