ABSTRACT

The financial assistance that one person gives to another when a relationship ends or because of legal duties is known as maintenance rights. These rights are impacted by a complex interaction of socioeconomic and cultural variables. The influence of several socio-economic factors on the enforcement and perception of maintenance rights is examined in this research. These factors include income inequality, job status, and economic stability. Furthermore, cultural norms and values such as gender roles, household responsibilities, and society expectations have a big impact on how maintenance agreements are implemented and accepted. The study illustrates the differences in maintenance rights enforcement between various socioeconomic strata and cultural situations by looking at these variables. The results emphasize that in order to guarantee equitable and efficient maintenance procedures, customized policy interventions that address both economic disparities and cultural sensitivity are required.
