Understanding Maintenance Laws in India
What is Maintenance?
Maintenance refers to the financial support that one spouse or parent is legally obligated to provide to the other spouse or children following a separation or divorce. The purpose of maintenance is to ensure that the financially weaker party can maintain a reasonable standard of living post-separation. In India, maintenance is governed by various legal provisions under the Hindu Marriage Act, the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, among others.
Maintenance After Divorce
Maintenance after divorce includes both child maintenance and spousal maintenance. Child maintenance ensures that the child's needs are met, while spousal maintenance supports the financially dependent spouse.
Child Maintenance After Divorce in India
Child maintenance is crucial to ensure the child's well-being and development. The court considers several factors when determining the amount of child maintenance, including the child's needs, the financial status of both parents, and the standard of living the child is accustomed to. The process for obtaining a child maintenance order involves filing a petition with the appropriate court and providing evidence of the child's needs and the parents' financial circumstances.

Determining Maintenance Amounts
How Much Maintenance for Wife?
The amount of maintenance for a wife is determined based on several factors, including:
- The husband’s income and financial capacity.
- The wife’s financial needs and expenses.
- The standard of living the wife was accustomed to during the marriage.
- The duration of the marriage and the wife’s age and health.
Right to Maintenance
The legal right to maintenance is granted to individuals who cannot support themselves financially. This right extends to wives, children, and in some cases, parents. The court grants maintenance based on the financial dependency of the claimant and the ability of the respondent to provide support.
Can Husband Claim Maintenance from Wife?
In certain circumstances, a husband can claim maintenance from his wife. This is typically applicable when the husband is unable to support himself due to reasons such as disability or lack of employment opportunities, and the wife is financially capable of providing support.
How to Avoid Maintenance for Wife in India
Husbands seeking to avoid maintenance claims can explore several legal strategies, including:
- Proving that the wife is capable of earning a livelihood.
- Demonstrating that the wife has sufficient independent means to support herself.
- Providing evidence of the wife’s misconduct or abandonment of the husband.
