D Correct answer
Explanation

Under Section 125(4) of CrPC and personal laws, maintenance can be forfeited if the wife remarries or engages in sexual immorality. The court can stop maintenance on either ground - remarriage terminates the entitlement, while sexual immorality shows disentitlement to support. These are statutory grounds for withdrawing maintenance.
