Section 125 CrPC provides maintenance to wife, children, and parents regardless of their religion — making it secular in character. Unlike personal law maintenance provisions (which apply only within specific religions), S.125 is a criminal law remedy available to persons of all faiths. The SC confirmed this in Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum (1985).
