Analysis and Conclusion:
Maintenance cannot be granted solely because the wife left the husband on her own, especially if she is capable of earning or has abandoned her duties without just cause. Courts tend to deny or reduce maintenance claims in cases of desertion, voluntary separation, or when the wife is capable of supporting herself. The primary consideration is the circumstances of abandonment and the wife's ability to earn, which significantly influence maintenance rulings.
