Enforcement of decrees and orders
AI Assist
Summary
Orders and decrees made under this Act are executed in the same way as ordinary civil court decrees issued by a court in its original civil jurisdiction. That means there is no special enforcement route: the usual civil execution procedures (attachment, sale of property, etc.) apply to orders under this Act.
Example
Priya gets a maintenance decree from the family court under this Act. When her husband refuses to pay, the court enforces the decree using the usual civil execution methods, for example by attaching his salary or selling movable property until the dues are paid.
