Dear Mr.Sharma
Marital status is not a condition precedent for getting the maternity benefit under the Maternity Benefit Act.
An unmarried woman or a divorcee or a widow can get maternity benefit under the Maternity Benefit Act if she has worked for 80 days during the twelve months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery. The answer to your query is based on the MB Act. I am sorry I am not able to say what made the law makers to have such a provision.

I am in the 4th month of pregnancy (16th week). I had taken leave from my office during the entire first trimester. With this I had exhausted all my sick and privilege leaves. However, becuase of some medical complication I had tro extend my leave for another month (leave without pay).
Need guidance on following queries:
1) for the month for which I was on leave without pay, will I be eligible to claim my salary (under maternity act 1961 section 10: Leave for illness arising out of pregnancy) ?
2) If I quit my job or am forced to leave, will I be eligible for maternity benefits (section 5 of maternity act 1961) - eligible for 12 weeks of pay (provided I have worked for a period of not less than 80 days in the twelve months immediately preceding the date of my expected delivery)
3) I am currently covered under the mediclaim policy provided by my current employer for which I\'ve already paid the premium for the year. In case I discontinue with the job, will I be able to avail the same mediclaim?
