That construction is not confined to disputes arising during a subsisting marriage and extends to property claims between divorced spouses. A narrower reading was rejected as inconsistent with legislative purpose, and earlier authorities under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 and Section 125 CrPC were treated as inapplicable.
