A quick definition of separate maintenance:

Separate maintenance refers to a legal arrangement where a married couple decides to live apart but still provide financial support to each other. This support can include payments for housing, food, and other necessities. It is a way for couples to separate without getting a divorce and can be used for various reasons, such as religious beliefs or financial concerns.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Separate maintenance is a legal arrangement where a married couple lives apart but one spouse provides financial support to the other spouse.

For example, if a husband and wife decide to separate but the husband continues to provide financial support to the wife, this is called separate maintenance. The husband may pay for the wife's living expenses, such as rent, utilities, and groceries, even though they are no longer living together.

This arrangement is often used when a couple is not ready to get a divorce but wants to live separately. It can also be used when one spouse is unable to support themselves financially and the other spouse wants to help them out.

Overall, separate maintenance is a way for a married couple to live apart while still providing financial support to each other.
